Say Cheeeesssee!


The first day of school is an exciting time! You’ve had the whole summer off and now it’s time to get back in the classroom. Social media is starting to be filled with first day of school photos. Whether you’re in middle school or college, back to school selfies are everywhere! To get you in the back to school spirit, we're giving away 4 tickets to see Disney On Ice at the Amway Center in Orlando, FL on September 5, 2015! To enter our new contest, all you have to do is share a photo from your first day back to school.

We want to see big happy smiles from all of our patients in their back to school photos! While you’re under orthodontic treatment you should still be proud of your smile. Smiling naturally may not come as easy for some people as it does for others. But just like with anything we do in life, the more we practice, the easier it gets!

Helpful Tips for a Photographic Smile

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. Be sure to brush your teeth after each meal and carry floss with you...just in case. 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.
