A Perfect Smile is Possible with an Orthodontist

January 30, 2017/0 Comments/in adult braces, Braces, Invisliagn, Orthodontics, Smile Quotes /by joelgluck

Believe That What You Want Is Possible

Audrey Hepburn believed that nothing was impossible because she became an actress and humanitarian with her hard work and determination. By saying that I’m possible is how Hepburn was able to overcome numerous adversities during World War II in order to take ballet lessons before learning how to sing in order to star in major movies. In addition, Hepburn became a fashion icon who also had a lovely smile. If you also want to believe that anything is possible, then it is important to visit an orthodontist to have your teeth examined. Having poorly aligned teeth can lead to several health problems along with having an unattractive smile.

Straightening Your Teeth Can Improve Your Health

If you were not able to wear braces as a child, then it isn’t too late to fix your teeth to avoid complications such as temporomandibular jaw disorder or sleep apnea. When you have mild malocclusion of your teeth, your orthodontist will recommend customized Invisalign aligners that you can remove while consuming food or performing oral hygiene. You will receive up to 25 sets of aligners that will shift your teeth slowly into the correct positions in approximately one year. However, if you have seriously misaligned teeth, then you will need to wear braces instead for two to four years.
