Someone told me about the growth hormones and the impact on teeth (especially women) almost 20 years ago, and I have been observing.
It is interesting that even Carl Lewis was wearing braces in the 1987 final, and that so many US and even some Jamaican women sprinters have been seen wearing braces from the 1990s to present day.
Was it to "pretty up" themselves with the new-found money in their pockets, or something else? How come so many of them simultaneously decided it was time to "straighten" their teeth? I mean it was almost like a fad from the mid-90s through 2005 and beyond, to see smiling, victorious sprinters wearing them during post-race interviews.
Just saying!!
