It’s easy to forget the power of a smile. In addition to creating a great first impression, smiles can boost mood, enhance confidence, and improve social interactions. Here are just a few of the benefits of having and showing off your beautiful smile.
- Mood Boost in the Brain
- A Better First Impression
- Healthier Teeth
- A Glowing Grin Can Spell Success
- Love & Smiling Go Hand in Hand
Research shows that smiling triggers the release of the neurotransmitters in the brain that cause us to feel happy. These include serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins. Another study found that smiling can create more of a sense of pleasure than eating bars of chocolate!
Studies show that 1 in 3 people notice others’ teeth and smile first. A reported 48% of all people say that a smile is the most memorable feature.
Not only are aligned, straight teeth great for creating first impressions, but they are easier to keep clean and healthy. Having straighter teeth means fewer chances of gum disease, plaque buildup, and tooth chipping. Moreover, those with straight teeth report fewer headaches and neck pain.
According to one study, those with straight teeth are 45% more likely to get a job than those with crooked teeth going for the same job. In fact, people with straight teeth are considered more likely to be successful by 58%!
Those with beautiful smiles may have a better chance of finding love. One study found that 2 in 5 people would not consider going on a second date with someone who had crooked teeth. According to research, smiling is also a predictor in a long-lasting and fulfilling marriage. Science tells us that smiling is contagious, so our loved ones mirror back what we show them. All the more reason to smile!
