The value of a straight smile

At our practice we have the pleasure of offering orthodontic treatment to patients of all ages. Through our patients treatment, we have the opportunity to follow their journey towards a straight smile, a balanced bite and most importantly a greater sense of self-confidence.

A persons’ smile constantly ranks amongst the top physical attributes which help to form a positive first impression. Many studies have shown that when a person is self-conscious about their smile they hold back their true emotions in various social and professional settings; in turn they are often missing out on various opportunities in these situations.

The patient pictured below is a teenaged girl who was so self-conscious about her smile that she only wanted a part-time job where she would be in the stock room and not have to interact with the public. Over the past 5 months we’ve witnessed her self-confidence blossom as her teeth have started to straighten. She now works at Tim Hortons, seeing and speaking to many people every single day. Her mom says “She’s like a new person”.

Whether it giving a young teenager that extra boost of confidence to smile or a helping a mother of 3 who has finally decided to treat herself, creating well-aligned smiles has proven to be a rewarding journey.
