The Cosmetic and Functional Aspects of Orthodontics

It may be surprising to hear, but a straight smile can have a much larger impact on your daily life than you’d think, according to a perception study conducted by Kelton Research. In the study, just over a thousand nationally represented Americans were asked to view images of individuals with straight vs. crooked teeth. Based on the data, those with straight teeth were:

45 percent more likely to get a job when competing with someone with a similar skill set and experience
57 percent more likely to get a date (based on picture alone)
21 percent more likely to be perceived as happy
47 percent more likely to be viewed as healthy
38 percent more likely to be perceived as intelligent

While the cosmetic benefits are possible in both your social and professional circles, the health benefits of straight teeth are as clear as day. Those with crooked teeth are more likely to find brushing and flossing more difficult because they are typically more difficult to clean. Furthermore, with crooked teeth, you’re more likely to suffer from issues later in life, including:

Bad breath
Chronic teeth grinding
Tooth decay and gum disease
TMJ disorder

What to Expect from Invisalign and Six Month Smiles

So, what can you expect from treatments like Invisalign and Six Months Smiles? To start, Invisalign offers patients a series of clear, medical-grade plastic aligners that are fabricated at the start of their treatment. Each pair of aligners is worn between 20 and 22 hours a day and designed to match a different stage of your treatment. They do not use any metal components whatsoever, making them ideal for individuals who want to maintain their appearance or who carry an allergy to metal dental hardware.

Alternatively, Six Month Smiles use a tooth-colored bracket system to help adults straighten teeth discreetly and effectively. Not only does this method work to straighten teeth faster than Invisalign on average (hence the name), but also requires fewer dental visits and costs less than traditional braces in Irving.

If you or someone you know has been considering orthodontic treatment to fix crooked or crowded teeth, there’s no better time than Ortho Day to make it happen! Feel free to contact our office anytime to schedule a consultation and learn more, just make sure to plan for the 22nd and 23rd of January next year. Make a straight smile your next new year’s resolution!
