All you need to do for the people to sit up and take notice of you is to wear a confident smile. A smile exuding with confidence can take you to places and help you climb up the ladder of success, trust us. For many of us, confidence is a reflection of how we feel about ourselves—our appearance, achievements, happiness and many more. However, more often than not, our focus drifts towards our shortcomings rather than our strengths.

If you have a crooked tooth that has always been a bother for you while growing up, it’ll interfere with your attempt to smile with abandon for sure. Clear aligner treatment is one option that you can consider to fix the misalignment of your teeth without bearing the burden of wearing an unattractive set of metallic braces for almost a year. If you are a working professional, here are some of the reasons to choose OrthoFX clear aligners rather than braces to succeed in your career.

Instant boost of confidence

Did you know a perfect smile can instantly give a lift to your overall appeal and as a result boost your confidence? This can even help you to get over your reservations regarding your looks and be successful in your career. Clear aligners are transparent and they are barely visible to the outsiders, making them an obvious choice over braces. They provide a discrete orthodontic treatment as opposed to conventional braces. They are a lifesaver for someone who doesn’t want to greet their colleagues, seniors or boss with a metallic smile. With clear aligners, there’s no need to worry about creating a bad impression on your clients either.

Minimum maintenance

Those of you who have tried braces would know the amount of work that goes into maintaining them. It requires you to visit the orthodontist once every 6-8 weeks to change wires and make adjustments. Cleaning the plaque between the teeth while wearing the braces takes longer and you may be conscious of any food traps. There’s a chance that this stressful routine may affect your performance on the career front. On the other hand, clear aligners require little or no maintenance. After putting in the aligners, you need not visit the dentist in person every 2-3 months and OrthoFX also offers remote check-ins with our app FXOntrack. OrthoFX trays can be removed at your convenience, and they allow for easier brushing and flossing. So your oral hygiene will not be affected while you are going through the treatment.

Faster and effective

The minimum time required for the braces to work is typically 9 months to a year, while clear aligners start giving visible results every week you change your trays. And what’s more, the treatment is done without the hassle of wearing metal brackets on your teeth. So you are getting a perfect set of teeth that’ll improve your chances of getting noticed wherever you go within a matter of months with clear aligners. Straight teeth also help make your job hunting easier as recruiters tend to choose people with straight teeth over those with bad teeth, even though they are equally qualified.
