The Invisalign teeth straightening system has become super popular across the globe. Thousands and thousands of people have used Invisalign to get the perfect smile they’ve dreamed of.
So now the real question is: are you happy with your smile and if not, what’s stopping you from getting the great smile you’ve always wanted? We’ve compiled some of the not so well known psychological benefits of a straighter smile – so if you were unsure before you’ll be ready to take the plunge and get on board with Invisalign in Weybridge after knowing these.
Psychological benefits
Did you know that 90% of the body’s serotonin is made in your gut. What’s serotonin, you ask? Serotonin impacts every part of your body, from your emotions to your motor skills. It’s the body’s natural mood stabilizer – it’s the chemical that helps with sleeping, digesting, and eating. But what’s really important is that it reduces depression, anxiety, heals wounds and maintains bone health.
Well how is this relevant to straightening teeth? When a person has a crooked smile, it can greatly impact their bite and the way they chew and subsequently digest food. When your body struggles to break down food in the gut correctly, digestion becomes a difficult process for the body and can cause a lack of serotonin. You know that feeling of gloom you get when you’re tummy is bad? That’s no coincidence; that’s because your stomach is telling your brain it’s having a tough old time. If you’re someone who struggles with mood disorders and also has a misalignment in your mouth – having corrective treatment could seriously help make a change for your mental health. Invisalign in Weybridge could be the system to correct this, and with it being so discret you won’t need to worry about the visual implications of teeth straightening on your life.
We should never dismiss the effect that poor self image and confidence can have on us. Feeling constantly aware of your smile, that people might be looking at it or that someone could be judging you, will inevitably take up precious brain power and energy that we could be using on other more important things – like our work or families. Unfortunately anxiety breeds anxiety and the more time you spend worrying about your smile the more aware you will be of it. Taking the route to straightening your teeth could give you that boost you’ve always needed to strive for a new job or go on that much needed family holiday (and not worry about all the photos) and what’s more with Invisalign in Weybridge you could be looking at just six months for the smile you’ve always dreamed of.
