Other Answers:
now seriously, it has alot to do with their water

Just as many American people have buck teeth.it is just that British people (who are portrayed in movies and such) have bad (or fake bad) teeth.

OMG i was wondering the same thing, its CREEPY how sooo many British people have "hurricane teeth", like its genetic or something. so weird.

We look each other in the eye, not the horse in the mouth.

I just love sweeping generalisations - a lot of british people have great teeth - remember Goofy? He was from the USA!

I don't actually know, but I think !Sarah! might be right because one of my old English teachers is British and I think she said that health care is really expensive.

They don't. If anything they have less people with bad teeth than some countries, because expensive orthodontics are not as fashionable in Britain as they are in other countries more obsessed with appearance rather than substance.

The vast majority of 'British' people have not had orthodontic treatment and do not need it. The few you complain about possibly do, but look at how many teens in your country have train tracks and you'll get an idea of what the real situation is there.

compared with who?

Where are you from smiley?

I take it you have never been to Britain.

Having lived in the country my whole life I have found it's a rather small percentage, no more than I'd expect from anywhere else. Either we are exporting them to the american film and TV industry :) or it's just one of those generalizations and yes dentists are incredibly expensive but most of us do find the money and time, or just take care of our teeth without their help.

because maybe theyre not so self centred as some people

Our dentist system is a sham..

To be honest I don't really know all that many people with bad buck teeth and I've lived in Britain my whole life.

No Offence taken. Us British have worked and paid for our N.H.S. all our lives only to have so many assylum seekers and illegal immigrants claiming money and rights and our stupid government giving it to them, that our national health is going down the drain.. fast. The Labour government take so much tax off us (directly and indirectly) that we cant afford to live let alone have cosmetic surgery. If we're in pain..No chance unless you get a second morgage.

It's not that British people need more help with their teeth its just that we don't try and iron out the slight imperfections that make us unique. Moreover, we get basic help as kids on the NHS for free so its not such a kudos thing. American people are obviously more concerned about their looks than giving charity to third world countries. No offence of course

hmm! so do lots of Irish people and probably for the same reason as British, its so feckan expensive to go to the dentist.

I don't know what you are talking about (seriously, I don't).
