Are Your Crooked Teeth Impacting Your Dating Life?

by Amy Sharp

When looking at pictures of people with straight teeth and people with crooked teeth, people with straight teeth were voted 57% more likely to attract a mate over people with crooked teeth. Two out every five individuals admitted they would not consider going on a second date with someone because of their crooked teeth.

But is it too late to straighten your smile? “No, it’s not!” says local dentist, Dr. Thomas Lomonte, DDS in Stafford. “And you don’t have to wear traditional braces to do it. Millions of adults have successfully straightened their teeth with Invisalign clear aligners. Since there are no brackets or wires involved, you can still eat all your favorite foods, stay active in sports, and do the things you normally love to do. Not to mention, Invisalign is more kissable than braces! For best results, wear your aligners about 22 hours a day, taking them out to eat and brush your teeth, and then putting them back in again. Depending on the complexity of your case, you could complete your treatment in as little as six months.”

Better still, Invisalign is approximately the same cost as regular braces, and Dr. Lomonte is proud to offer 0% financing. “What my patients love about Invisalign is how easy it is to use. The aligners aren’t painful or inconvenient. And you never have to feel self-conscious about smiling because hardly anyone will know you’re using them… they’re virtually invisible. It may sound shallow as a cavity, but sadly your crooked teeth could be impacting your dating life. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to invest in your smile, this Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to act. No matter who you are, the most beautiful thing about you is your smile.
