You may have noticed that at times our office looks like a patient photoshoot, and if you’ve glanced at our Instagram you’ll see it’s pretty much the Bailey Orthodontics gallery of smiles. We love to capture our patients during their proud smile moments, like first day in braces and debands. Whether you’re having your photo taken in our office or smiling for a photo with your friends, we want you to have a selfie-ready smile! Need some help figuring out how to bring out your best smile? No worries we have a few tips for you!
1. GET IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR - Take time to practice your smile in front of a mirror. See how it looks when you hold your shoulders back and strike a natural, unforced smile. Play around with turning your head and finding your best angle. Figure out which smile you like best, then practice, practice, practice 'til you get right. Remember how great that smile feels so that you'll be able to replicate it without looking in a mirror.
2. SMILE WITH YOUR EYES...or as Tyra Banks would say, Smize - A genuine smile will naturally draw in the eyes. And a natural smile is not something you can fake. The eyes are essential for a genuine, warm smile. When you are practicing your smile in the mirror, focus on your eyes and which muscles are working and how.
3. MAINTAIN GOOD ORAL HYGIENE - One thing that can cause you to fear flashing your pearly whites, is when they might not be that pearly. Dr. Bailey is adamant about making sure you know to brush your teeth after each meal and carry floss with you...just in case you need it. We all know that good oral hygiene is important, but the fact is a healthy mouth will make you feel more confident about your smile.
Whether you’re in treatment or rocking your new braces-free look, we want you to be proud of your smile! Smiling has many positive benefits including reduced stressed and better moods. We love to see our patients smiling, show off your smile on social media and tag us and us the hashtag #BaileyOrthoSmile!
