Everyone says that “first impressions last.” It is probably this assumption that’s making many Americans overly conscious of the impression their smiles create, as revealed in a survey by the American Association of Orthodontists. The Orthodontic Products Magazine reports:

Of Americans who are unhappy with the appearance of their teeth, 36% believe they would have a better social life if they had better teeth. This may be especially true among young adults, as 48% of Americans ages 18 to 24 have untagged a picture of themselves on Facebook because they didn’t like their smile

On a professional level, 78% of Americans perceive adults with crooked teeth to be unsuccessful. And 14% of those unhappy with their teeth felt that they might be missing out on a better job.

“Professional orthodontic treatments have come a long way in recent years, with innovative options such as clear aligner trays, lingual braces, and ceramic braces,” said John F. Buzzatto, DMD, MDS, president of the AAO. “Healthy teeth can be moved at any age and it’s encouraging that two-thirds of Americans think they are never too old for treatment.”

If you are part of the one-third of Americans who are unhappy with their smile, do not allow yourself to remain in that state of mind for long. There are many orthodontic treatments available to help you achieve straight teeth and a dazzling smile. Below are some of the orthodontic treatments a reputable Aurora orthodontist, such as Dr. Charles F. Reed, is likely to offer a patient:

Damon® Clear

Damon® Clear is a type of brace that uses clear brackets (hence, its name), which make the braces nearly undetectable. The Damon® Clear system also boasts of brackets that have metal clasps to keep the archwire in place instead of the traditional rubber bands.

Invisalign®

Made of smooth, clear plastic, Invisalign® is virtually invisible to the naked eye. Aside from the fact that it is unnoticeable, the clear plastic dental aligner is a popular orthodontic treatment because it is removable, allowing patients to brush and floss their teeth properly.

It is important to note, though, that not all orthodontists offer these products to their patients. If you are interested in a particular orthodontic method, call an orthodontist in Aurora and inquire if the orthodontic treatment you wish to receive is available in his or her practice.
