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.
