It really is a shame...his mother is a school principal and she must have had excellent dental insurance. With all of her nurturing and support, I don't see how she overlooked this.

Well, that would explain it, but I thought (could be totally mistaken) that I saw a picture of him when he was younger with braces on. If so, something clearly went wrong, but if I were him, I'd be using some of that endorsement money to get it taken care of pronto.
