Did you know that an unattractive smile can influence your relationships? Crooked teeth can be a turn-off. Invisalign provides a discreet solution to improve both the health and appearance of your pearly whites. You won’t have to worry about brackets or wires, but you might have some concerns when it comes to dating. There’s nothing to fear. Invisalign will have no negative influence on your relationships. Instead, it can actually give your social and romantic life a boost.
Invisalign Can Improve Your Confidence
Invisalign is very difficult to detect, so you don’t have to worry about unwanted attention brought to your mouth. Your treatment will involve wearing clear aligners over your teeth for at least 22 hours per day. You’ll switch to the next set of aligners every 1-2 weeks, as instructed by your dentist. Each aligner will apply continual pressure to your teeth, moving them slowly. As your teeth move into position, you’ll feel more confident about your appearance.
Invisalign Won’t Affect Your Speech
Your aligners will feel foreign for a few days as you get used to wearing them. During the brief adjustment time, your words might sound slurred, but practice makes perfect. Singing or reading out loud will help you adjust faster. In no time at all, you’ll speak clearly and confidently. You won’t have to stress about your aligners falling out when laughing, talking, or even kissing because they will fit like gloves.
You Don’t Have to Skip Dinner Dates
You don’t have to plan your dates around your treatment because there aren’t any dietary restrictions with Invisalign. However, you must remove your aligners when having anything except water, so you’ll want to carry your storage case with you. Don’t forget to brush your teeth and rinse your aligners before putting them back into your mouth.
Less Time in the Dentist’s Chair
Life can get pretty busy, especially if you have to juggle frequent dental appointments. That’s not a concern with Invisalign. You don’t need adjustments, just brief check-ins with your dentist every few weeks. You’ll have more time to focus on finding your soulmate.
Enhance Your Professional Image
Researchers have found that a person with a pleasing smile is perceived as young, confident, and successful. Not only are they important qualities to have when dating, but also within your career. After you finish your treatment, you’ll have a straight, healthy smile that will be sending the right message to future partners and employers.
It’s never too late to invest in a healthier smile. Invisalign is an effective, comfortable alternative to metal braces. You can’t put a price on the benefits you’ll gain from straight teeth.
