This one thing can change your life forever. That did it for me.
I'm talking about braces. If you are considering purchasing them for yourself, your child or a loved one, I can tell you that they willgreatest giftthat you have ever given to yourself or your loved one.
This is why.
Braces do so much more than just straighten your teeth.
I understand. Braces can be annoying to deal with. The constant food getting stuck in your teeth and all the rules about what you can and can't eat can be difficult.
But you know what?I would get braces again in a heartbeat!
Most people think that getting braces is mainly for appearance, but nicely aligned teeth mean SO MUCH MORE than having straight teeth.
Let me tell you my story.
My story about braces
When my parents gave me braces as a teenager, I, like most teenagers, saw it as a form of punishment because I was already going through an uncomfortable phase of life.
Plus, my teeth were considered “just enough.”
But I now understand why my wise parents told me I would thank them later.
After finally getting my braces off, I blossomed into my true self. I started smiling more and received countless compliments. My self-confidence skyrocketed and I became a happier and more outgoing person. I even did better in school and in my extracurricular activities.
This marked the beginning of my love for dentistry because of its incredible power to change your life.
Now, as a dentist, I am an even bigger supporter of bracesInvisalign.
Having experienced the life-changing benefits of braces for myself, I now understand their crucial roleof a coordinated smilein yourdental healthAnd yoursoverall happiness and success in life.I don't think I would be where I am today if I hadn't had braces.
Here are five ways braces will change your life.
Braces make you more attractive
Celeryimprove your overall appearance. By beautifully aligning your teeth, braces create an aesthetically pleasing result that significantly increases your attractiveness and self-confidence.
If you have a smile that you are proud of, you will naturally smile more.
And we know that smiling improves your overall health and well-being.
Braces improve the health of your teeth
Adjusting your teeth will not only make you look more attractive, but also...improves your oral hygiene.
When your teeth are crooked and crowded, it is almost impossible to keep them clean from the buildup of food particles, plaque, bacteria, and stains.
It is also more difficult to brush and floss between the teeth.
It is therefore no surprise that people with crooked teeth are more likely to suffer from tooth decay and gum disease.
Braces can protect your teeth from damage
When your teeth are misaligned, they can touch each other incorrectly and ultimately scratch and wear your teeth.
If you have a deep bite or if your teeth stick out, you tend to chip your front teeth.
If you have a crossbite, you tend to break your back teeth.
Braces improve your social life and your overall happiness
Research shows that people with 'bad teeth' are considered less attractive, less intelligent and less successful.Studiesalso associates an attractive smile with positive qualities and characteristics such as friendliness, friendliness and intelligence.
It is believed that a person with a pleasant smile tends to have a better social and love life as he attracts others with more confidence and ease. Conversely, someone who feels insecure about their smile is often less outgoing and more withdrawn.
According to a recent study commissioned by the AAO (American Association of Orthodontics),bad teeth represented the biggest dating turn-off among men and women. And almost 80% of women believe that crooked teeth are worse than a receding hairline in a potential love interest.
So if nothing else has convinced you, maybe the risk of missing out on the love of your life will motivate you!
Braces improve your success in life
Research also shows that people with an attractive smile tend to be placed in higher positions at work and perform at higher levels.
