Potential of a Smile
If your mood is low because your crooked teeth are hiding behind your smile; or if you are caught up in a frown hiding your potential to glow with a smile, a visit to an orthodontist is the answer. It is never too late to set your teeth straight, and an orthodontist goes beyond the mile, with a smile, to prepare for a stronger smile.
Do not underestimate the power of wearing a smile. Smiles can:
- Send positive messages
- Open doors of opportunity
- Display your mood
- Reduce stress
- Show confidence
- Stimulate your brain
- Be good for the soul
- Make you more attractive

If you are wondering if traditional braces are cheaper than Invisalign, the answer is generally yes. Of course the actual cost of whatever option you choose will vary based on factors such as how long you will be wearing them, but traditional braces will generally run you less money than invisible aligners. The reason for this is that Invisalign is more high maintenance. With traditional braces, you will generally need to go in for adjustments about once every month. The orthodontist will adjust the wiring, which is fairly cheap itself, and that will be it. Because it is an older technology, it was designed so that keeping the braces fitted to your teeth entails a lot less work on the part of the orthodontist.
In contrast, with Invisalign, you will need to go in about once every two weeks to get a new mold for your teeth. These molds will have to be changed each time you go in (since the aligners that you are wearing are shifting your teeth and they will not be in the same positions that they were in even two weeks ago). Once the impressions from your teeth are acquired, they will be sent to a lab that will make the actual molds that you will be wearing. The constantly changing molds will make it so that your teeth are constantly shifting closer to the positions in which you want them, but it also means more work for your orthodontist, and more resources consumed for everyone involved. As such, it will naturally be more expensive than traditional braces.

Spend Your Money On Orthodontic Treatment
You might spend a lot of time getting dressed in the morning without considering that a smile is the prettiest thing you can wear. If you have avoided visiting an orthodontist to have your teeth straightened, then you should schedule an appointment to learn more about aligners and braces.
Today, adults, in addition to teenagers, are able to wear aligners or braces to fix their misaligned teeth. Having straight teeth will lead to having a strong bite that makes it easier to consume delicious fruits and vegetables, and if you are experiencing chronic sleep apnea, then repairing your smile can improve your health.

Smiling Helps to Improve Your Mood
A smile always makes you feel better because it helps to release chemicals into your brain that will affect your mood. If you are walking outside, then having someone smile at you also can make you happier. You might think that someone who never smiles is a grumpy person, but it is possible that the person feels self-conscious about having crooked teeth. However, everyone can have a gorgeous smile by visiting an orthodontist for individualized treatment. If you or your child has an unattractive smile, then it is time to have an examination to learn if braces or aligners are necessary to correct misaligned teeth.

The Importance of Your Smile
Many consumers have not given enough thought to the importance of their smile, and they are happy with their semi-annual trips to the dentist. Really, there is a lot more out there for them to explore. We love this quote:
“You’re never fully dressed without a smile.” ~Martin Charnin
Thinking about this quote, you can envision those people in your workplace who always smile. They seem to have more confidence and appear happy most of the time. They may be putting on that smile for public consumption and on the inside feel very differently, but you want to get a bit of their confidence. You will do it however you can, everything from eating right to getting regular exercise. Another option is to perform a partnership with your local orthodontist.
