...boss likes his staff settled down and therefore a little desperate: you know, mortgage, car and tuition payments, maybe a few bills from the orthodontist. When obligations exceed income, the folks at his ad agency work harder and more loyally. That's his theory, anyway, and Kate (Jennifer Aniston) doesn't fit it.

...completely removing the cartilage disk or implanting an artificial hinge. But many experts wince at some recommendations, such as capping every tooth in the patient's mouth in order to reconfigure a bad bite. So do TMJ sufferers. Ruth Shapiro, 40, of Los Angeles, demurred when told by an orthodontist that her only hope was to have reconstructive surgery that would involve breaking her jaw.
