Looking good is essential to feel comfortable with yourself. And, among all the aspects that intervene in this formula, the smile is the key. Many confess that it is the first thing they notice when they meet a person, but, on the other hand, not all take care of them as they deserve to get the most out of them. The time has come for our smile to be the main reason to smile.
The seductive power of a smile is indisputable. Few gestures transmit as many sensations as when we arch our lips upwards showing part of our teeth. And for all these messages to be even more effective, nothing better than a beautiful, cared for and healthy smile.
Genetics has been able to give us strong gums, full lips and... misplaced teeth. However, today there are ideal solutions so that this is no longer a problem, thanks to the continuous advances that dentistry has experienced. But how is the perfect smile? Each person can answer this question in a different way, arguing that it is more important to have perfectly positioned teeth, with an average size, a tone that betrays good hygiene or lips that frame these teeth as if they were a work of art.
Now, not everything is so simple. Each face corresponds to a smile to comply with the laws of harmony that the classics so well defined when categorizing beauty. Thus, when assessing how to intervene to achieve a perfect smile, you must first carry out a physiological study of parts of the mouth such as the gums or the lips, but also analyze the rest of the face in depth. “The arc of the smile is a hypothetical line that must be aligned with other facial elements, such as the lips. In addition, it must always be kept in mind that this arch will vary with age. Thus, the treatment to improve and achieve that desired smile does not only depend on the position of the teeth. Other aspects must also be assessed, such as their inclination and the length shown when the person smiles”, explains Dr. Estela Arias, medical director of Impress in our country. "Once we know in detail all the necessary ingredients for the ideal smile and we evaluate them together with each patient's own features, we obtain the treatment that is needed individually," she adds.
Deciding whether or not orthodontic treatment is necessary is much easier today, thanks to the means and technology available. This is confirmed by Dr. Arias: “The need for orthodontic treatment can be easily evidenced using the digital flow provided by the face. Digital smile design shows how restorative treatments benefit from previous orthodontics.”
“The evolution of technology has allowed us to improve planning, as well as the integration of different health specialties, in order to provide the patient with a perfect smile and in harmony with the rest of their facial features”, highlights Dr. Arias, adding: "Currently the patient is able to visualize that smile that we can offer him, always taking into account the parameters that we previously encountered, such as the gum or the volume of the tooth or lips." Thus, thanks to the experts at Impress, a leading chain of orthodontic clinics throughout Europe, with more than 160 clinics in eight countries, and the cutting-edge technology available to them, patients always manage to improve their self-esteem and finally smile. without complexes, radiating happiness.
"At Impress we have worked to achieve practical, comfortable, aesthetic, effective and tremendously precise aligners to achieve optimal results in the shortest possible time", highlights Dr. Arias, who has focused her career on this type of orthodontics, convinced of its multiple benefits. benefits. In addition, their hue makes them practically imperceptible to other people and their color does not change over time.
Another treatment that also helps to smile more safely is professional teeth whitening. Sometimes, and for a multitude of reasons, the teeth present an inappropriate coloration, more yellowish than desirable or with stains. By means of a personalized transparent splint through a previous mold and the use of whitening products of the highest quality and without side effects for health, following current legislation in this regard, white teeth worthy of envy are achieved.
Showing off aligned teeth is not just a matter of aesthetics, it is also essential to prevent or solve many other problems that affect oral health. The most obvious is cleanliness. It will always be much easier to brush and floss straight teeth than crowded ones, whose gaps are sometimes so small and hidden that not even the most constant and stubborn people are going to get a good result. And this is how the accumulation of plaque begins, which turns into tartar and makes the smile ugly at a stroke, in addition to facilitating the occurrence of ailments such as cavities or gingivitis. Other problems of a denture with the upper part ill-fitting with respect to the lower one, which in medical terms is called dental malocclusion, can lead to anything from constant headaches and neck pain to suffering from sleep apnea and bruxism both day and night.
Taking care of our mouth is investing in our health both in the short and long term. And the good thing about this prevention is that the results are positive from the first minute. Do you still have doubts about whether it is necessary to make an appointment with a specialist?
