Reason why getting braces isn’t a common thing in Japan

Today I’m going to talk about why getting braces isn’t common in Japan.

According to the 2020 survey by Japanese Association of Orthodontists, only ten percent of the people have had braces. Why is it so uncommon?

The reason is that it’s too expensive. It costs around 700K-1.2M yen, and it isn’t covered by the health insurance unless you need to do jaw surgery. In most cases, when we start them, we have to sign basic paperwork saying that orthodontists aren’t liable for side effects that occur, so it’s very difficult to sue them even if it goes wrong.

That’s why most Japanese people have crooked teeth. It’s unaffordable and a bit risky.

More title-like. Since "why" already has the meaning of "reason", it's a bit redundant.

According to thea 2020 survey by the Japanese Association of Orthodontists, only ten percent of the people (in Japan) have had braces. According to a 2020 survey by the Japanese Association of Orthodontists, only ten percent of people (in Japan) have had braces.

According to the 2020 survey by Japanese Association of Orthodontists, only ten percent of the people havesurveyed had braces. According to the 2020 survey by Japanese Association of Orthodontists, only ten percent of the people surveyed had braces.

Technically, the end of the sentence should be "only ten percent of respondents claimed having braces." With the phrasing in my suggestion, again, "have braces" is more technically accurate. However, I think most people would write it as I've suggested. The "surveyed" is required because otherwise it's ambiguous what set of people you're referring to.

"you need surgery" or "you need to have surgery done" The wording "to do jaw surgery" would imply the patients are performing the surgery on themselves. In my flashcards, I have this sentence, "父は胸の手術をした", and coming from English it's rather confusing because it sounds like 父 is performing the surgery, but Google says it translates to "my father had chest surgery."
