It’s not that, it’s because Brits can’t afford braces

They're free for under 18s that need them. We just don't get them if they aren't necessary.

You don’t define “necessary” as “you look ugly and have crooked teeth” though. It’s only if it’s like a medical problem. In the US, anyone with crooked teeth will get them because their parents don’t want their kids to be unnecessarily ugly for no reason, which impacts their quality of life in lots of ways that are well documented. British parents don’t care about their kids in the same way (and have no money lol) and so you get a lot of hideous snaggletoothed people
