SMILE FASHION REPORT
Happy “Tooth-Day”!
Farah Flossit here, BRACE yourself for a special SMILE FASHION REPORT!
Why should you hide your brace face or metal mouth? Who said you can’t make a fashion statement with your smile? Not only are you improving your smile by wearing your braces, but you can also now coordinate your style or occasion with cool & funky designs. Make the best of it & make it fun! Coordinate your colors with your favorite football team, or with your new sunglasses. You can choose to glow in the dark or even choose to be subtle & go with the clear look; the options are unlimited. Set the trend–wear your braces with style–show your self confidence with a fashionable smile!
Just to give you an extra boost of confidence, I would like to share 10 Benefits of Straight Teeth.
1. BETTER BRUSHING: Overlapping teeth can trap food particles. Straight teeth allow for easier brushing & flossing.
2. CLEAR SPEECH: Crooked teeth cause many speech impediments. As a result, confidence may suffer & school/work performance may be impacted.
3. EASIER EATING: Crooked, crowded teeth compromise chewing. Digestive problems can result.
4. LESS ACCIDENT PRONE TEETH: Protruding teeth are more prone to breaking. Protective mouthguards may not fit properly.
5. FEWER HEADACHES: Crowded teeth wear unevenly. Uneven wear puts pressure on jaw, resulting in chronic headaches.
6. IMPROVED GUM HEALTH: Better oral hygiene prevents gum disease. Lower risk of gum disease means lower risk of tooth loss.
7. BETTER OVERALL HEALTH: Improved oral hygiene means less tooth decay. Tooth decay & gum disease are linked to heart disease & high blood sugar.
8. COST EFFECTIVE DENTAL CARE: Fewer severe dental issues with straight teeth. Fewer issues means less expensive treatment.
9. LOWER RISK OF SOFT TISSUE INJURY: Crooked teeth can push against soft tissues in mouth. Cuts, soars, & infections can result.
10. INCREASED SELF-ESTEEM: One of the biggest benefits of straight teeth. More confidence at work or school & in social situations.
Life after braces can be fashionable too. It is imperative to upkeep all the work you put into improving your smile by wearing your retainers. The good news is you can also customize your retainers to look fun & fashionable. You can wear stylish retainers once you finish the treatment with the braces. Retainers are used after the braces to hold teeth in their positions. Not wearing them long enough can cause more problems than you actually started with. While retainers are normally made with the traditional pink acrylic, most orthodontists, definitely the funnest dental office (Casa Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics http://www.casasmiles.com/orthodontics/), now offer cool retainer designs that will make you want to wear them. Below you will find some design options, but if you have something specific in mind, it’s best to ask if it can be customized just for you.
It’s never too late to wear braces!! 20% of braces wearers are adults over age 18. Advanced braces options are more discreet than ever before. Improving oral health is important during all stages in life. For a straight healthy smile, early treatment is best. Don’t forget that according to the American Association of Orthodontics https://www.aaoinfo.org/, children should get an orthodontic checkup by age 7. Even if your child’s teeth look straight, there may be an internal issue. A checkup may reveal problems with jaw growth or emerging adult teeth not visible to the naked eye.
