The extent of a winning smile plays a weightier role than just enhancing how one looks in selfies. If the conclusions drawn from one research study is to be believed, an attractive smile can do much to improve a candidate’s promotion or job prospects, especially those jobs that involve client-facing job roles or jobs that are public or high-profile in nature. Along with dress code violations, disorderliness and being overweight, dental decay, too, has been found according to a YouGov study to have negative consequences for those who are in the running for a job – 77 per cent of participants felt that job candidates with poor dental health would be at a disadvantage with little chance of success. Your insecurities about the look of your smile have a direct bearing on your confidence levels and self-esteem, critical factors that create the groundwork for success (whether professionally or socially).
But it is not adults alone that bear a heavy cross with their visible signs of poor dental health as children, too, do not fare well when it comes to crooked teeth. This poor dental condition can be the cause of childhood bullying according to the British Dental Association.
The influence of straight teeth cannot be overstated and so the role of orthodontic devices such as Braces Liverpool becomes all the more important when the need arises for fixing the appearance of teeth.
Unlike other medical conditions, poor oral health has not been given top priority status by patients. But considering the undesirable consequences linked to poor dental health, and the wide availability to orthodontic help, the path is open to overturning the view that dental health is optional.
The role of orthodontic treatment
The use of orthodontic braces remains a reliable way for dental practitioners to straighten or reposition teeth to improve the aesthetics of your smile or to improve mouth functions such as improving bite capability. There is a third role, too, that is of equal importance – improving long-term dental health, as straighter teeth facilitate hassle-free cleaning and less fussing. Orthodontic treatment also provides protection against teeth and jaw damage. A protruding front upper jaw, for example, can easily sustain injury should a patient receive a knock to the mouth area. Patients whose teeth do not meet together as they are meant to may find that they begin to experience jaw joint problems due to the jaw muscles being overworked. Sometimes this pressure on jaw muscles may also result in headaches. Creating a more even bite with orthodontic treatment can go a long way to ease this strain.
There is no denying anymore that dental aesthetics influence how one perceives oneself or is viewed by others, and so, to boost greater self-worth, there is convincing support for considering orthodontic care that is supervised by a suitably professionally qualified dental practitioner. It is not uncommon for adults who have straighter teeth and attractive smiles to receive positive social judgements such as the perception that he or she is of higher intelligence or seen to be more popular or friendlier.
