San Juan Capistrano has a reason to smile with invisible braces

Metal braces are highly effective, and they have straightened countless smiles for adolescents and adults. This traditional design is still a popular and useful orthodontic treatment, though it has been updated through the years with better materials and techniques. However, it is not right for everyone. Many adults are not willing to compromise their professional and social images with the look of metal. Drs. Alex and Nina Basti understand that no single treatment is right for every patient, which is why they offer a variety of solutions.

New dental materials have made invisible and tooth colored orthodontics possible. Six Month Smiles have the added benefit of an amazingly short treatment time. Invisalign works with ultra-thin, removable aligner trays for optimal comfort and convenience. Of course, we also offer metal braces, which may be more efficient for bite alignment in some cases. Whatever your individual needs, we will help you find an excellent solution. Mission Viejo, San Juan Capistrano, and nearby communities can enjoy straight teeth.

Why is straightening your smile so important? Kelton Research conducted a study designed to answer that question. Over 1,000 American adults, representing a diverse cross-section of society, participated in the study. They were not told that the survey related to dental issues; they were simply asked to give their honest impressions of people after viewing photographs. The subjects in the photos had varying degrees of orthodontic problems, and the impressions of those with crooked teeth were compared to those with straight teeth. The results speak for themselves.

According to Kelton Research’s findings, people who have nice straight teeth are seen as:

• 45 percent more likely to get a job
• 58 percent more likely to be wealthy and successful
• 57 percent more likely to get a date
• 21 percent more likely to be happy
• 38 percent more likely to be smart
• 74 percent more likely to be trustworthy

First impressions matter. They can make the difference between success and failure in romantic, social, and professional situations. The image that you see in the mirror can make the difference in your self-image. Don’t you owe it to yourself to learn more about your orthodontic options?
