Are you happy with your smile? Recently, Wakefield Research conducted a study at the behest of the American Association of Orthodontists. The results revealed that over a third of American adults are unhappy with their smile. In many cases, the reasons had to deal with misalignment. Crooked teeth, embarrassing gaps, and a myriad of other alignment issues leave people feeling self-conscious. While traditional orthodontics would address the issue, many adults and teens worry about the appearance of metal braces on their smiles. Thankfully, at Aesthetic Orthodontics, we offer a variety of practically invisible smile correction techniques. In today’s blog, your Larchmont orthodontist, Dr. David Alpan, offers a fun and informative quiz to discuss our approach to inconspicuous smile improvement.
