    Are braces “strange body modifications?” Because that’s what he needs. And if he doesn’t have dental insurance, well… He’s apparently worth half a million dollars, which is a half a million more than we have and our daughter has braces.

      Yes. Teeth braces are strange body modifications. This is something very few people do to their bodies, but its fairly popular in extremely rich places

        Making it easier to chew your food and less likely to have health problems later than life = strange body modification. Got it.

        Just curious, are eyeglasses a strange body modification? How about an insulin pump? I’m just curious what medical intervention counts as strange body modification.
