Lose those pesky extra pounds, go to the gym, eat healthy, achieve my dream smile with straighter teeth …Are straighter teeth on your New Year’s resolutions list? By the end of January, even the most well-intentioned resolutions like losing weight or exercising more fall by the wayside. Straightening your teeth is an easy resolution to keep. The first step is as simple as an appointment with an orthodontist.Admit it: you’ve thought about getting Invisalign before, but haven’t taken the plunge. Maybe you’re worried about the cost or concerned about colleagues or friends noticing the aligners. So you continue to settle for crooked teeth and an imperfect smile– all while imagining what life might be like if you took a leap of faith.Wonder no longer! Make 2017 the year you decide to finally achieve your dream of straighter teeth and a confident smile. Here’s how your life will change:

1. More smiles and laughter. No more hiding in the back of photos or cringing every time someone says, “Let’s take a group selfie!” When you feel confident about your teeth, you’ll want to share your smile with the world. This confidence is infectious. When you’re laughing and smiling, you’ll attract more positive and energetic people into your life.
2. Healthier teeth and gums– and less bad breath. Crooked teeth are more than just eyesores– they also increase the risk for a host of oral health problems including gum disease and tooth loss, not to mention the potential for bad breath. That’s because crooked teeth make it more difficult to correct floss and brush, leading to plaque and tartar build up. Since you can easily remove aligners, Invisalign makes it easy to keep your teeth clean even during the straightening process. Your gums and minty-fresh breath will thank you.
3. A more active social life. When we don’t feel confident about our appearance, our social life can suffer. Sure, you may not be a total wallflower, but do you find yourself dreading a friend’s wedding or avoiding going on dates? Invisalign can give your self-esteem a huge boost so you feel more confident getting out there and living life to the fullest.
4. Less jaw pain and bite problems. This may come as a surprise, but did you know that there are more problems to crooked teeth than just their appearance? When your teeth and bite do not properly fit together, this can increase the risk for bite problems and jaw pain. In fact, you may favour one side of your mouth while chewing and not even realize it! When you straighten your teeth with Invisalign, an orthodontist will also evaluate your bite and jaw alignment. Correct jaw alignment can minimize jaw pain and improve your quality of life.

Why Choose Invisalign? Comfort, Convenience, and QualityReady to make 2017 the year you finally achieve your dream smile? Invisalign is a discrete, comfortable and convenient straightening solution that will help you achieve your dream smile without the embarrassment, awkwardness or discomfort of braces. As an added benefit, you’ll know exactly what to expect at each step along the way. That’s because an orthodontist will plan your entire treatment out in advance. Metal braces can often be a trial-and-error approach to teeth straightening. With Invisalign, you’ll know exactly how long you’ll need to wear each set of aligners as you move through the treatment process. Since the aligners are virtually invisible, no one will be able to know that you’re wearing them, and you can discretely remove them when eating and drinking.New Year, New Smile: Learn About Invisalign Treatment Options TodayYour smile is the first thing people notice when they meet you.
