“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” - Thich Nhat Hanh, Zen Buddhist monk

Did you know the number one recognized characteristic on an individual is their smile? First impressions are so important and your smile is the window to that impression, whether it’s a happy warm positive smile or a sad sheepish withdrawn one. In a recent study, 92% of the people polled thought that a person’s smile could affect their business or career opportunities as well as their social and romantic relationships… potentially every aspect of human interaction.

When we look good, we feel good about ourselves and that feeling can translate easily into confidence and assurance that makes a deep impression on those around us. Your smile is like a welcome mat, it’s what makes you approachable. People with a great smile radiate warmth that draws others to them instantly.  

The definition of beauty

According to scientific studies, beauty is symmetry.  Studies have shown that the preference for symmetry is a highly evolved trait in humans, with standards of attractiveness similar across all cultures.  Individuals with highly symmetric features have been proven to be more successful at attracting mates, succeeding in business and being happy with their lives.

One of the main reasons behind people deciding to fix their ‘broken’ smile is self esteem. Life manages to throw us enough things to worry about, without having to think about what you look like, or what people will think of you, every time you smile. If you have ever watched an ‘extreme makeover’ show on television, an important stage of the makeover is giving them a more attractive smile, and what a big difference it makes!
