If You See a Friend Without a Smile

Can Smiles Spread?

Yes, smiles really are contagious! Your smile truly does affect those around you. The area of your brain that controls your smiling mechanism and the times that you mimic someone else’s smile is in the cingulate cortex, which is a response area that is automatic. Swedish researchers showed subjects pictures of different emotions, including anger, fear, joy and surprise. When a subject was shown a picture of a smiling person, the researchers told them to frown. What the researchers found was that the subjects naturally did the opposite. It actually took a lot of effort for the subjects to put a frown on their face. When you smile at someone, the odds are good that they can’t help but return that smile to you. If they don’t, it’s only because they are trying really hard to be a Grumpy Gus!

Who Is Missing Your Smile?

We all want to make the people around us happy. That’s just a natural part of being a social, well-adjusted individual. We would all rather be around someone who’s flashing smiles as opposed to frowns. But passing along the smiles may be harder if you’re not happy with your own smile. While a smile is a smile is a smile, you may be less apt to flash your less-than-perfect whites to a friend or stranger who sorely needs it.

How Can The World Benefit From Your Smile?

Invisalign aligners can straighten your teeth without the use of braces. You can remove these invisible aligners, which means that no one has to know that you’re straightening your teeth. A benefit of Invisalign is that you can eat and drink as you normally do. You can also brush and floss as you would in your normal routine. Because these aligners are not braces, there are no metals, wires or brackets that can cause abrasions.

If you’re interesting in having the world benefit from your smile, contact Beach Braces to see if Invisalign is the right solution for your smile. You and your orthodontist can create a treatment plan that will give you your perfect smile.

Smile; Don’t Take Life to Seriously!

fun and smile

In today’s world, it seems like we are bombarded with stress and pressure. Sometimes, it can be hard for moms to get a break from the constant drive to be what society deems “perfect”. While it’s fantastic to strive to do your best, Dawn Gluskin reminds us all of some important truths when she states “Don’t take life too seriously! Nobody gets out alive anyway. Smile. Be goofy. Take chances. Have fun. Inspire.” Today we’re going to focus on how to do just that!

Be Goofy

Yes, there are times when you have to act like a mature adult, but there are also times when you can “let down your hair” and just enjoy the moment. Take the opportunity to goof off with your kids or enjoy time with some friends.

Take Chances

It’s easy for moms to get stuck in a comfort zone and feel nervous doing anything out of the norm. Today, break free from the bondage and feel free to step out there. Take chances and release your wild side.

Have Fun

Go out for pizza in the middle of the week, ride the scariest roller coaster at the amusement park, and listen to your favorite music on the way to work.

Inspire Others

Every day, you have the opportunity to make an impact on the lives of those around you. Whether you’re in college, working full-time, or a stay-at-home mom who only sees her kids, husband, and the workers at the grocery store, you have the chance to make a difference. Look to inspire those around you with acts of kindness and words of understanding.

Smile

How can you tell a happy girl? By the big smile on her face! Make a conscious effort to always wear that frown upside down, and let your smile bring joy wherever you go. It’s amazing what a smile can do for not only those around you but even for your own attitude. If you feel uncomfortable about your smile, consider looking into braces or Invisalign treatment.

Here at Beach Braces Orthodontics, we specialize in helping both adults and children unlock their hidden self-confidence by developing a beautiful smile. We will work with you to help you get the smile you want by using braces or Invisalign treatments. Contact us today and find out how our orthodontist can help you improve your quality of life!

Smiles Changes Lives

Those Fancy Sauces are doing more Harm than Good

Teeth Staining Food # 2: Deeply-Colored Sauces like Soya Sauce, Tomato Sauce etc.

You can brush your teeth all you want, use mouthwash multiple times a day, even use hydrogen peroxide, but those discolorations and stains on your teeth won’t go away. Did you know that the foods you eat can cause stains to appear on your teeth? Dark and deeply-colored sauces are among the worst foods that you can eat. Something as simple as spaghetti sauce can change the way you look and feel about your smile.

Acidity and Stains:

Spaghetti sauce, ketchup and other sauces and condiments contain tomatoes, which have a high acidity level. The more you eat those foods, the more the acidity breaks through the enamel on your teeth. This can lead to cavities and other dental conditions, but it can also cause those sauces to discolor your teeth. Soya sauce, also known as soy sauce is a popular addition to Asian dishes but before you add a dash to your next stir fry, think about how it can change your smile.

Healthy Eating:

As a parent, you want your kids to eat healthy. Feeding them the wrong things can lead to a trip to a teeth whitening orthodontist in Manhattan Beach. Even if you take the time to think about what to feed your children and spend hours planning meals, you might still feed your kids pasta sauces and Asian dishes that cause discoloration, decay of the enamel on their teeth and even cavities. It’s important that you take care of your kids’ dental hygiene as early as possible. For affordable dental braces in Manhattan Beach residents often call on Dr. Patricia J. Panucci for help. As a preferred Invisalign provider Manhattan Beach residents know that she can give their kids a brighter and straighter smile. Schedule your appointment with the orthodontist at Beach Braces today.

Does Invisalign work?

Is Invisalign worth the Resources?

If you have crooked or misaligned teeth, but you want to avoid the unsightly process of getting braces, Invisalign is a wonderful treatment option. Not only will this process give you a beautiful looking image that will boost your self-esteem and make you smile more, but it will also give you more healthy oral health for years to come. When it comes to finding an Invisalign Manhattan Beach orthodontist, here is the information you should be considering to know that getting this process completed will work for you.

How Do The Aligners Work?

During the time that you are getting this treatment, you will get multiple different aligners from your Invisalign Platinum Provider. Little by little, the aligners will work to straighten your teeth and shift them into the correct position. Once you have completed each session, you can then visit your orthodontist to get the new set placed, so that your teeth will continue the transitional process. Invisalign uses a patented thermoplastic design that will move a patient’s teeth by force into an appropriate position. Because the treatment will only move certain teeth at a time, your orthodontist will use their expertise to ensure determine how to correctly use the aligners for you.

How Long Does The Process Take?

Most traditional braces will take multiple years, if not more, to completely straighten your teeth. However, getting Invisalign from a Manhattan Beach orthodontist will take much less time. As mentioned above, you will have to go back to your orthodontist a few times throughout the process, however it will still be much less of a time commitment than typical braces treatments. Your orthodontist will work with you throughout the process to inform you of how long you should expect for the process to be for you.

Why Should I Consider This Treatment Over Traditional Braces?

We live in a world where photography and social media puts our entire lives on display almost every second of the day. For those that have unsightly teeth, getting treatment to straighten them out can do wonders for self-esteem and confidence. However, with braces, those feelings are often diminished, as people are concerned with others looking at the metal affixed to their teeth. However, with your treatment from an Invisalign Platinum Provider, you can now start working towards beautiful teeth, without the downtime that comes from braces. Furthermore, braces are a type of treatment that can often make normal activities more difficult, such as eating food and making sure that you don’t get any remains stuck in your teeth. However, Invisalign can be removed, cleaned and then quickly placed back in your teeth, to ensure that you are continually working on treatment, without the concerns that come with traditional braces.

If you are looking for beautiful teeth through an Invisalign Manhattan Beach orthodontist, you can rely on Patricia Panucci, DMD. She specializes in children orthodontic treatments for children and adults, so she can help people of all ages get the smile they’ve always dreamed of. Consider contacting your Invisalign Platinum Provider for getting your treatment started today. It won’t take long before you realize it can work for you!

Be a Smile on Someone Else’s Face!

 orthodontics, smile quote

Smile Quote # 34: “For a Moment Atleast, be a Smile on Someone Else’s Face”- Dejan Stojanovic

One of the nicest parts about a smile is that it can be shared and very easily returned by everyone around us. This means that every moment that we choose to smile could be a moment that our smile is returned back to us by a passer-by, co-worker, family member or a friend. Think of some of the people that inspire you and make you happy on any given day, when we imagine them smiling it almost makes us want to smile too. You can have the same effect in somebody else’s life and really all you need to do to share this wonderful feeling is to share your smile as often as possible.

Having one of these moments in our day can completely turn it around and make us feel much better. If you are experiencing a difficult time or a particularly stressful day taking the time to smile and share a smile with somebody else can make a true difference. Even if it’s just for a moment, this quote is a true prescription for increasing positivity in your life.

However, saying that you will spend time smiling and actually sharing a smile are two different things. It can be difficult for some people to share their smile with others because they are embarrassed of the type of smile that they have. Luckily there are solutions to this problem, which come in the form of professional orthodontic treatment.  With Dr. Patricia Panucci and her team at Beach Braces, it’s possible to receive your ideal smile so that you no longer have to hide your teeth or hide sharing a smile with the people around you. With the help of our team we can help you share your smile with others and create inspiration every day. You can contact us today for making an appointment.
