People Seldom Notice Old Clothes If You Wear a Big Smile ~Lee Mildon
First impressions can go a long way in establishing meaningful relationships. Making a good first impression is about more than the clothes, jewelry, and shoes you wear. When you wear a big smile, your face and personality become the focal point of any first impression.
Facial Expression
Your facial expression has a big impact on people’s perception of who you are and your attitude. Wearing a smile can make people perceive you as more attractive and youthful. Your facial expression takes the focus away from other physical attributes like your clothing, the way you walk, or the style of your hair. It draws attention back to who you are, rather than what you are.

A Universal Language: How Smiling Speaks to People
Almost from birth, we express joy and other positive emotions through a smile. Infants naturally recognize smiles as positive cues and begin to reciprocate with smiles of their own. Smiling transcends the language barrier, allowing us to communicate joy and happiness without the use of words or more exuberant gestures.
Have you ever noticed that smiles are contagious? Smiling at a person naturally triggers a positive emotional response, prompting them to smile back. This is an inherent response present almost from birth.

Invisalign is quickly becoming the preferred choice for uncomplicated teeth correction. Invisalign uses a set of plastic trays on the teeth to gradually straighten teeth and correct biting issues without damaging the teeth while providing an esthetically pleasing appearance.
The Invisalign Treatment Process
The first step in receiving the Invisalign treatment is to consult orthodontists in Southington experienced with the Invisalign process. The best orthodontist in Southington to begin the Invisalign process will fit your needs financially, and provide a comfortable environment in 6 months to two years. The first step with your orthodontist will involve a consultation to discuss your individual needs in fine detail to access if you are a fit for Invisalign. Next, concerns about the insurance, dental health and costs will be addressed.
After all preliminary factors are established, a treatment plan is generated with teeth impressions, x-rays and pictures. Your orthodontist will show how your teeth will be shifted as well as the duration of the treatment. Custom-made plastic aligners are then manufactured from the impressions taken and presented to you with the instructions to wear them each day, with the exceptions of mealtimes and times of dental hygiene. New aligners are typically assigned to an individual every two weeks, which are gradually altered to increase pressure on the teeth.

Invisalign is a popular choice among individuals of all ages for straightening teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, they are practically invisible. There are no wires that can cut or irritate your mouth. And they can be removed for eating and tooth cleaning. What’s not to like?
About Invisalign
The Invisalign aligner is made out of a thermoplastic material to your orthodontist’s specifications. Each patient will need a progression of aligners to gradually move the teeth to their desired location. Some patients will need as few as five; others will need as many as 50, depending on how much movement is needed. A few patients will need to have a small attachment device bonded to one or more teeth to assist in the straightening process.
The aligner needs to be worn at least 20 hours a day. Each aligner in the progression will need to be worn for two or three weeks, before moving on to the next aligner. For most patients, the entire process will take a year. A retainer will need to be worn for perhaps another year after finishing with the aligners.

Research over the years has shown that smiling can really affect your mood and the mood of those around you. Scientists have noted that human brains are wired to be social. One way that humans express that sociability is by smiling at each other.
When one person flashes a beautiful smile at another, neurons in that other person’s brain will also light up even though he is not the one smiling. This goes to show that smiling at someone or being at the receiving end of a smile will elevate both your moods.

Andy Rooney’s words about smiling on your own probably ring true for everyone. And he should know since he dedicated much of his life to making people smile with his wry humor. When we smile when no one else is around, it is the most genuine smile we can experience. It is a marker of true joy. It is not a polite smile to a stranger on the street or a forced greeting smile with a coworker. Smiling alone is just for you. Smiling alone is happiness personified.
