Braces – Time to Embrace Your Love Life
If your teeth are holding you back, it’s time to embrace braces.
We live in an age where there’s never been so much pressure on people to look good. With the increased media obsession with celebrity, the general public are feeling the heat. And achieving the perfect smile is central to achieving the right look. Adults are opting for invisible braces or lingual braces that are fixed to the back of the teeth and therefore not visible. Now, wearing braces doesn’t mean having to be self conscious or uncomfortable and many people in their 30s and 40s would rather opt for discreet cosmetic dentistry for professional reasons.
Facing up to Braces
Braces don’t have to be ugly, clumpy or a shock of metal anymore. Invisible braces mean you can smile with confidence. Writing in the Irish Independent, Yvonne Hogan explained her experience with braces as a young adult. It all began after a boyfriend commented on her ‘brown’ front tooth. She hadn’t noticed it before, but increasingly became self conscious of it after a few more comments were made about her teeth that prompted her to visit the dentist. The difficulty in keeping the tooth clean was because they were overcrowded – braces would fix the problem.
Smile on Her Wedding Day
But as a 30-something Yvonne simply didn’t want to wear traditional ‘train-track’ braces. She simply didn’t think wearing wire braces for two years was enough of an incentive – even if the result would be perfectly straight teeth. But after her boyfriend proposed, the idea of having perfect teeth for her wedding photos became a strong motivation. She opted for clear, plastic braces – similar to the ones Cheryl Cole used: “If it’s good enough for Cheryl, it’s good enough for me,” Yvonne wrote.
More Adults Opt for Braces
It’s not surprising with these advances in braces that the whole of the UK is experiencing a boom in cosmetic dentistry. According to the Orthodontists’ Association, it’s been estimated 30% of orthodontic patients wear braces as adults. The prevalence of American TV is thought to be behind the surge of adults seeking braces and dental care.
Yvonne opted for invisible braces that could be easily taken out to eat or brush her teeth and which took two years to work – but for some it can take just six months. She wrote she was thrilled with the results: “For a while, I smiled for absolutely no reason, a few times at very inappropriate moments, just so I could display my pearly whites.”
