What Makes a Smile Attractive?

An act as simple as showing your teeth can have a powerful emotional effect on another person! Almost immediately when someone smiles, it creates a warm feeling in the other person, putting them at ease or even turning their bad day into a good one! But what makes a smile “attractive”? Although highly subjective at times, there are a few key things that will make a smile attractive!

In general, whiter teeth are considered more attractive. Of course, this depends on what country you live in, but for the most part in the U.S., almost everyone wants a whiter smile. There are numerous ways to whiten teeth, from over-the-counter whitening strips to in-office whitening services performed by your dentist. Determining the one that is right for you depends on many factors and is best discussed with your dentist.

That perfect smile is often hindered by crooked teeth, even though they may already be white. There are a few options to straighten teeth from conventual braces with wires and rubber bands to clear Invisalign trays. Again, the best option for you is best decided after a consult with your dentist.

Age-worn teeth will typically have all the above issues along with short, worn, and even broken teeth. Treatment to restore what’s been lost can be quite extensive and also expensive, but the best investment someone can make is in themselves.
