Improve Wellness
Some cosmetic dentistry practices improve oral hygiene, function, and health. Crooked teeth are more than an appearance issue and can cause many health problems. Crowded teeth are challenging to clean with toothbrush bristles and floss. Difficulty reaching nooks and crannies between contorted teeth can lead to bacteria growth, bad breath, and periodontal disease.
Protruding teeth can create chewing difficulties due to malocclusion (misaligned bite). They are also more at risk for dental trauma. MTM® Clear Aligners effectively and discreetly straighten misaligned teeth.
When you are satisfied with your smile, you may be more inclined to retain this level of attractiveness through in-depth home oral hygiene routines and regular dental cleanings. These practices will help fight against bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease.
Boost Confidence
Crooked and stained teeth can diminish your self-esteem, but an improved smile can build it back up.
When people feel more confident about their smiles, they tend to smile more. The physical act of smiling benefits health and happiness. A 2012 study in Psychological Science proposed that smiling activates the release of neuropeptides. These neuropeptides fight off stress, mediate the communication between cells throughout the entire body, and reduce heart rate.
Initial Impressions
You can only make one first impression. These initial experiences have an impact on the foundation and longevity of a relationship. The lack of confidence to smile could even cost you valuable opportunities. Forming personal relationships such as friendships, dating, or meeting the in-laws requires memorable first impressions.
Meeting new people is common in work environments. A beautiful smile can help in professional life. In a three-part study conducted by Kelton Research, whiter teeth increase the likelihood of being hired (58%) and receiving higher salary offers (53%) by job interviewers.
Smiling is the universal symbol of positivity and approachability. Friendly body language (such as smiling) can make you seem more pleasant and personable. Therefore, an attractive smile can increase your chances of making a solid first impression.
Schedule a Smile Makeover Consultation
Smiling releases neurotransmitters (dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin). These neurotransmitters make you feel happier, relax the body, and lower heart rate and blood pressure. Smile makeovers are associated with an improvement in overall wellness and an increased risk of not being able to contain your joy.
