アメリカやカナダでの留学中の歯並びに関する心配
ケビンさん、山ちゃんさんこんにちは。僕は今、高校1年生で、1月からカナダに1年間留学する予定です。
そこで心配事が一つあります。僕は歯並びがとても悪いです。創生でやえばが目立ちます。
アメリカやカナダでは、歯並びがよく見られると聞きました。親も気にしてはくれていたのですが、最近離婚をしたため、金銭的に厳しく留学までに矯正はできません。
かなりアバウトな質問になってしまって申し訳ないのですが、留学中、歯並びが悪くても大丈夫でしょうか。
アメリカで生活されていたケビンさんの歯に対する考えを聞きたいです。よろしくお願いします。
Well, what if my answer is no?
Is there other option you can take?
What if I say, oh, if you go to America and your teeth sucks, then you can't. What's gonna happen?
That's true. That's so true. That is so true.
But no problem. Don't worry about it. It's okay. Don't worry about it.
Sometimes people don't...Not everyone has the perfect teeth. Don't worry about it.
Right.
And you're not...Wait, how old is he?
Coco Ichinensei.
Coco Ichinensei, yeah.
No, don't worry about it, right?
It's okay.
Just got out of middle school. Well, yeah, don't worry about that. Focus more on like the cultural spirit, right?
Yeah, true, true.
Rather than being liked, you know?
Oh, that's a good phrase.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Like it.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
True.
Yeah.
But is it...So, two things that I wanna say.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
When you...It's very important. I'm not blaming anybody, but it's really important when you say something that could turn like yes or no or like it has two options.
Then you have to think two...You have to prepare for two options.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
When you do some...When you have some conversations or when you do something, a proposal or something, anything like that.
Yeah.
You have to prepare for, you know...
Like you're right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You could get both answers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that's, I think, really important.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
歯に対する意識の違い
So that was one.
One more thing is...Is it true that American or Canadian people more like seeing and thinking about teeth than Japanese do?
Yeah, I would say yes.
Yes?
Yeah.
Like kids do braces early.
Early in their life.
A lot more frequently and more...It's more normalized in the United States than it is in Japan.
Like, you know, you'd see a lot of elementary kids have braces.
Yeah.
And all that stuff.
Yeah.
Right.
It's a thing.
Okay.
It's a thing.
Yeah.
It's very common.
It's a common thing.
It's a very common thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So is it rare that people are like having...
Like crooked teeth.
What was that?
Crooked?
Crooked teeth.
Crooked like...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well...
In adults.
Because everybody has those braces.
Yeah.
When you compare it to Japan, yes, it's rare.
But like, it doesn't mean if you didn't do braces during your childhood, it doesn't mean...Like, it's not like, oh, you don't...Oh, your teeth sucks.
That's not gonna happen.
That's not gonna happen.
Yeah.
Just people just think, oh, okay.
Okay, that guy didn't do braces.
Okay.
That's all.
Yeah.
Right.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's it.
That's...
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Okay.
You don't have...You don't have that teeth that have braces.
All right.
Well, I do.
That's it.
That's...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
So...
Okay.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
I think you should be proud that like, you know...You're a Japanese guy, right?
That's based in Japan.
Mm-hmm.
And Japanese culture doesn't have that same culture of like, the braces culture, right?
So like, tell them that.
Yeah.
My culture doesn't have that braces culture, so like, I don't have it.
Like, I'm sorry if my teeth isn't as beautiful as yours.
Mm-hmm.
But...
True.
In Japan, it's not so common...
Yeah.
to get braces during your early childhood.
Mm-hmm.
So, deal with it.
Yeah.
Right?
True.
Yeah.
Don't worry about that.
Right.
Because your sense isn't the same, so...
Exactly.
Right?
Exactly.
Yeah.
You don't have to like, completely adjust to different ones.
Yeah.
It's true.
Right.
And really, they...High schoolers really don't care about...They really care about
themselves at that time in life, so like, they're not...They don't have time to think
about you...
Okay.
And like, how not straight their teeth is.
Right.
Right.
So, don't worry about that.
Right.
Yeah.
There are many, many more things to think about and...
Yeah.
way more important.
Yeah.
They have a...They have a crush that they want to go out with.
Right?
Yeah.
That's...
True.

And even for you, like, there will be many more things to...
