How Improving Your Smile Boosts Confidence

Super Smiles:

We all want to put our best face forward. However, when you are insecure about the appearance of your smile, this can feel like quite the impossible task. It can be difficult to feel confident when you are not secure about the appearance and health of your teeth.

No matter where you are on your dental improvement journey, it's possible to feel confident about your smile. Taking steps to improve your smile via braces or other means can be hugely beneficial for your morale and for your sense of self. Here are a few ways how improving your smile can boost your confidence.

Better First Impressions

We all want to make a great first impression whenever we meet someone new. When we're insecure about our teeth, we frequently worry that our flawed smiles are the only aspect of our face that the people we meet register. Investing in orthodontics can help fix that one flaw that you may see in your smile which will, in turn make you feel more confident in your smile. When you feel confident in the appearance of your smile, you don't feel as insecure when it comes to meeting new people.

Look Good, Feel Good

It's true that there's so much more to life than our looks. However, there is also a lot of truth to the old phrase "look good, feel good." Even if it's what's on the inside that truly counts, the truth is that we feel good when we know that our appearance is the best it can be. This is why taking action to repair your smile can be so impactful for your overall psyche and morale.

The Snowball Effect

Self-improvement can be really addictive. Once you fix one problem, you'll find yourself wanting to experience the same drastic improvements in other areas of your life. It's why many people who lose large amounts of weight frequently start making positive changes in other realms of their lives not related to their bodies. Feeling like a new and improved person is exhilarating and improving one thing can have a snowball effect on other aspects of your life.

When you know you look your best, the rush of confidence and happiness is undeniable. That's why taking positive steps towards self-improvement can do wonders for improving all areas of your life. If you invest in a smile that you can be proud of, you'll experience a level of confidence and satisfaction with yourself that is unparalleled.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
