Halloween

It’s Halloween Season!

Halloween can be one of the most fun holidays that many young adults and children experience every single year. It is however very important to consider that if you are wearing orthodontic appliances that Halloween might be just a bit different for you during your treatment.

If you have braces it’s very important to consider that much of the candy that you might normally be eating on Halloween should be cut entirely out of your diet.

Eating candy and sweets on Halloween can be a lot of fun and even though many dentists do not recommend an excessive amount of sugar as this can promote cavities, it is important to enjoy yourself especially on Halloween.

For patients that have orthodontic appliances in traditional braces however most types of candy should be avoided. Candy is usually very chewy and can get stuck in braces which can cause real damage to your teeth and to your oral health. Hard candies can damage braces and also get stuck promoting issues with oral health. Even worse, sticky candies and soft candies can stick in the wires of braces and cause cavities.

Rather than face issues cleaning your braces or even damaging your braces by eating candy on Halloween, it’s usually a good idea to just abstain. Stick with some of the foods that you can regularly eat. If you would like to go out for Halloween however consider collecting a donation for a local charity in lieu of candy or donating your candy to some of the other local neighborhood children. There is no reason why you can’t dress up and enjoy Halloween even with braces on.

For patients that have Invisalign and other removable appliances you can take off your aligners for just a short time in order to enjoy some candy on Halloween. Make sure to properly clean your aligners and thoroughly clean your teeth after you have enjoyed your night of fun. Invisalign makes it easier to enjoy holidays like Halloween but we still strongly encourage our patients to dress up and enjoy the holiday as well.

Feel free to come by our offices throughout October to see our Halloween decorations. If you have any questions about foods to avoid on Halloween, or should you need to schedule an emergency appointment after Halloween please do not hesitate to call or contact our office so that we can provide you with some answers.

Beach Braces Smile Quote #19 “Every tooth in a man’s head is more valuable than a diamond”

Many people overlook the care of their teeth as well as truly valuing their smile. A smile is an extremely expressive tool that we all use each and every day, caring for it is imperative to maintaining our confidence, our image and how we depict our happiness to the world. Just as this quote would suggest it’s very important for people to care for their teeth just as they would the most valuable diamond in a jewellery collection.

A smile is what makes us approachable and what we use to communicate happiness to other people. If people are unable to value their teeth they may not be confident in their smile and may also have difficulty smiling without any effort. It’s important that we be able to smile with other people and share a smile as this can brighten somebody’s day. Having the confidence to be able to perform a big open tooth ear to ear grin is what really helps us to connect as human beings. A guarded smile is nowhere near the same as a genuine confident one. Are you happy with your smile?

You never know the type of people that you might meet or who you might impress by showing off your perfect smile. This is why keeping your teeth healthy and regularly caring for each and every tooth in your head, as the quote would suggest is so very important to maintaining your appearance and valuing your happiness. Smiles and teeth truly can be more valuable than any diamond in existence.

Beach Braces Smile Quote #18 ”You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just SMILE”

To go through life without smiling would have to feel like something is missing.  You might check to make sure you are wearing your shoes, or put on your tie, or grabbed your keys and phone.  After making sure that you have everything that you need for your day, something still seems to be missing.  In order to be fully dressed, you need to put a smile on each morning.

There are so many things in life to be appreciative of.  What better way to show your happiness and excitement than through a smile?  Smiles are the universal way of showing that you are happy or have a positive outlook on something.  When we start to smile, others cannot help but smile themselves.  Why not challenge yourself for the next couple of days to wake up and before you leave the house, put a smile on your face?  You might notice that people will begin to ask you “Why you are smiling?”, or “What are you so happy for?”

What greater response than telling them that today is just a good day and you are happy to be smiling.  I guarantee if you start this trend, people will begin to be more positive and upbeat when they are around you because they know that you are the person they can come to share a smile with.  No one likes a grouch, so why not put a smile on and share it with everyone?

Beach Braces Smile Quote #17 “There is no weapon in the feminine armory to which men are so vulnerable as they are to a smile.

A smile is one of the best tools that we can have.  A smile never hurt anyone.  If a smile can only help yourself and others, then why do you not smile as often as you should?  Are you embarrassed by the way your smile looks?  If this is the case Beach Braces would like to assist you in correcting your teeth so that you can have a smile that you are proud of.  One method of changing the way your smile looks is by getting braces.  Many adults think that they have waited too long and their smile is a lost cause.

This is not true at all!  Braces are not just limited to children alone.  Beach Braces offers a variety of options for children and adults alike.  If smiling can boost your ego, then how do you think you would feel if your smile had been corrected and you had the smile you have always wanted?  With advances in the technical side of orthodontics, there are many things that have been updated and changed in order to lower pain and discomfort levels as well as the amount of times that you will have to visit for check ups.

Another great thing about braces today is that there are many options to how you would like to straighten your teeth.  You can have metal braces, translucent braces, or even aligners such as Invisalign to help improve your smile.  When you come in for your first visit the orthodontist will go over what your options are and what they think will be the best option to better meet your needs.  You will know what will happen every step of the way and will be sure to get the attention you deserve.  Schedule your complementary consultation today!

Perfect smile

Smile Day

“If you don’t start the day with a smile, its not to late to start practising for tomorrow”

Perfect smile

Beach Braces Smile Quote #13 “If you don’t start the day with a smile, its not to late to start practising for tomorrow”

It is possible that you are so busy throughout the day that you might not have time to smile or take in something that you really appreciate or that makes you happy.

People who get stuck in day-to-day jobs that do not bring them happiness have a harder time staying upbeat and positive in the workplace.  Then when they get home their attitude is negative and all they want to do is go to bed and hope for the weekend.

Why should you live life like this?  Shouldn’t you want to be happy in your job?  I know that this probably sounds crazy, but in the midst of all the hustle and bustle remind yourself every day to smile.  A good old saying that you should remember daily says, “you aren’t fully dressed until you put a smile on”.  It is guaranteed that the more that you smile the more energy and positivity that you will bring to yourself and other around you.

Smiling is contagious, so why wouldn’t you start smiling to bring more upbeat positivity to your workplace or even in your home?  Make it a point to smile at least once after your wake up, twice while you are at work, and then when you get home for the night you should start to see some changes.

Even if you find yourself in the middle of the day and you have forgotten to put on your smile, its not too late.  Go ahead and smile away!  You will begin to see the change on your face and others around you.  Make this your daily habit and you will begin to see the changes in yourself and those dear to you.

Smile that Stress Away

 “Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it”

perfect smile

Beach Braces Smile Quote #12 “Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it”

Have you ever looked in the mirror when you were smiling?  If you haven’t recently go over to the mirror and start smiling at yourself.  Notice how happy you look?  Now, most of the time after I do this I end up making myself chuckle and then realize how silly I am being.

In that moment I am filled with happiness and all the stress that I have been dealing with has gone away.  A smile is something magical that can turn our worries away.  Why do we not smile more often?  It has also been said that laughter is the best medicine.

There are whole groups of people that meet together on a regular basis and have laughing times with each other.  They sit in a circle and use all of their energy to laugh.  When you laugh  you always feel good, right?  So why not share this happiness with others?  Some think that their smile isn’t good enough to share with the world.  They think that because they have a couple extra teeth or because their teeth are crooked they don’t need to smile anymore.

With the discovery of orthodontics over 100 years ago, we have the technology to straighten teeth for a more comfortable smile that you can call your own and share with the world.  Beach Braces wants to bring you to the point where you can be happy with your smile.  In a short amount of time you can have the smile that you have always wanted.

Stay Beautiful

“I’ve Never Seen a Smiling Face That Was Not Beautiful”

perfect smiles

Beach Braces Smile Quote #11 “I’ve Never Seen a Smiling Face That Was Not Beautiful”

When you are unhappy the first thing that starts to happen is that your face turns sour and your eyes begin to cross and you clench your fists, right? When you are happy your face can brighten up a room.  The corners of your mouth will begin to raise and in some instances you will show your teeth for a full and beautiful smile!  Scientists have proven that smiling causes happiness.

Take a look in the mirror.  Sound out the vowel e and notice how the corners of your mouth extend like they would when you are smiling.  Now think of something that is guaranteed to make you happy.  Your mouth stays the same.  Next sound out the vowel u.  Notice how your mouth draws inward.  Your eyebrows may drop a little.  This action by the face is also seen when we are upset.  Try to be happy and smile while you are sounding out the u.  Impossible isn’t it?  Every time that you go to think of a happy thought and smile, it causes your mouth to expand out, making you stop with the u and go to the e expression.

This also works in real life situations.  When you are happy and something makes you mad, it is very hard to keep smiling.   Instead we should think of it as the opposite.  When we are mad we should think of things that make us happy.

Then it is guaranteed that we would not be able to keep that frown on our face and bring happiness into our lives.  Next time you find yourself in a situation where you want to frown or you are upset, think of something funny or a happy memory and let yourself smile.  It will begin to melt your stress away!

This type of misalignment can affect your bite and overall your beautiful smile.   There are different options available for orthodontic correction.  Invisalign is a clear method that straightens your teeth without the use of wires, brackets, or rubber bands. Many have preferred this method because it is clear and straightens their teeth without the bulky metal.  Invisalign is customized to fit your teeth, providing maximum comfort, are clear for confidence, and are super effective.  Another added benefit is that they are clear!  About every two weeks you will get another aligner if you choose this option.

Can you Measure a Smile ?

 

 “All the Statistics in The World Can’t measure the Warmth of a Smile”

Beach Braces

Beach Braces Smile Quote #8 “All the Statistics in The World Can’t measure the Warmth of a Smile”

Have you ever thought of measuring a smile? Most scientists invest in various studies regarding smiles, how much people mean it, and how different smiles can be distinguished. Advanced studies even have patterns to determine if your smile is fake or real. These studies based their results on facial muscles they identified to be responsible when a person is smiling.

However, no matter how much studies were conducted, how many factors were considered, and how much results are shown, the question of measuring a smile is still a debatable topic.

So, can you really measure smile? How much joy does it give to other people? In what angle or amount of mouth opening is to be considered as the best smile? How much pain can certain smiles eliminate? How long must someone smile in order to lessen negative feelings? All these questions together with some thousand questions about smiles are yet to be answered and remain a mystery to be unfolded.

With the kind of technology that we have today, indeed experts can measure certain factors of smiles but no one can still decipher smile itself.

No matter how many studies are being conducted, in the end, it doesn’t really matter anyways as all the statistics in the world can’t measure the warmth of a smile. After all, not everything in this world can be measured and that includes smile.
