LONDON, UK: The look of their teeth is of great importance to British men. More than a quarter would choose to have their teeth straightened if they could, according to a new survey that asked men about the one thing they would like to change about their appearance.
A significant 63 per cent of men would investigate means of treatment to have their teeth aligned if they had concerns in this regard, it also found.
The results are from a survey conducted by media intelligence provider Gorkana on behalf of clear aligner manufacturer Align Technology on men’s confidence in their appearance and the likelihood of them seeking treatments to address physical imperfections.
According to the survey, almost one in two men have had great concerns about their appearance in the past and these occasionally prevented them from dating.
While men from Scotland, the North East and London were found to be the most content with their appearance and teeth, men surveyed in the South West and West Midlands were less likely to consider themselves happy with how they looked.
Those least satisfied with their appearance were from Yorkshire and the Humber.
Although men between the ages of 18 and 24 felt it was wrong for men to take steps to change their appearance, they were also the age group most likely to have looked into treatments to alter their appearance.
Londoners were most likely to look for ways to change how they look. One in three admitted that they were considering treatment for their imperfections, such as straightening their teeth.
The survey was conducted among all age and socio-economic groups, as well as geographical regions, in the UK.
