If you’ve always suffered with wonky teeth then you probably struggled through your school years being tormented with nicknames. Although these were just childhood jibes, they can often have a lasting effect and put a serious dent in your self-confidence. Have you ever considered whether orthodontic treatment can be of benefit to you? Here are five things we would like you to know:

1. New opportunities: Having straighter teeth can be of enormous benefit in many areas of your life. Being the proud owner of the smile of your dreams can increase your confidence and attractiveness; it’s a well-known fact that a smile is the first thing people notice in a potential new partner, so you might even bag yourself a few extra dates.

2. Confidence: It won’t just affect your social life, think how you would feel delivering the next presentation at work knowing that you don’t have to hide your teeth throughout it, and then finishing with a flourish by flashing that million-dollar smile! Statistics show that people with straighter teeth do better at job interviews. This could be down to several things, from increased confidence and instilling trust among future employers, to generally appearing cleaner, more hygienic and personable.

3. Improved oral hygiene: On the subject of cleanliness, if you currently struggle with your oral hygiene (does your dentist constantly tell you about plaque accumulation?) it’s probably because uneven teeth are harder to clean. Think about it, if the teeth aren’t in a straight line it leaves more nooks and crannies for food and bacteria to hide, making it trickier to clean even with the best toothbrush in the world. Orthodontic treatment could improve the health of your teeth and gums and this has a far-reaching effect on the health of your whole body.

4. Discreet and quick: If the idea of years of ‘brace face’ puts you off, there’s no need to let that school-day era of name-calling haunt you. There is a multitude of short-term and invisible orthodontic solutions available that will allow you to achieve the smile of your dreams without having to deal with a mouth full of wire. Even these shorter solutions will give you a sense of achievement at the end of it all. It might not be the two-year slog that orthodontic treatment once was but it still requires care and attention in terms of keeping the appliance clean and sticking with it through to the end of the treatment.

5. Personal satisfaction: No matter which teeth straightening system you opt for, at the end of your treatment you can expect to feel a wonderful sense of achievement. From seeing that niggle that you’d noticed in photos straightened out or noticing an improvement in the shape of your face and profile, your satisfaction is the reward that we look forward to with you at the end of your clinical treatment.

There’s no doubt about it, leaping to straighten your smile will positively impact every area of your life, the only question is, what’s stopping you?
