Bay Dental And Orthodontics

Exponential Growth Strategist, Dr Marc Dussault published an interesting blog post recently called “You Can’t Afford To Be Ugly“. It provocatively makes the point that we are judged by the way we look.

Let’s face it first impressions DO COUNT.

A lot.

You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression

First impressions are based primarily on looks. According to an Australian survey, 3 out of 4 people believe that the way you look defines your character.

You can dress however you want when you are home, or with friends, but in the business world, a professional look is key to success.

In an increasing casual world, a professional look signals dedication and expertise.

What elements make up a classical professional look?

For men, it’s dark-colored, tailored suits. To add extra sophistication, men can add a crisp white shirt, a conservative tie, and polished shoes.

Businesswomen should wear a skirt or pantsuit, with a modest blouse. Heels should be an appropriate height. This is for aesthetic and safety reasons.

Both sexes should avoid loud jewelry and strong cologne/perfume. Also, visible tattoos and body piercing are NEVER professional. (unless you work in music or the circus)

But, dressing for success means nothing if you look unhealthy.

Weight is a physical attribute that people will notice when scanning you during that ever-important first impression. “The interview.”

People may not notice how physically fit you are, but they will notice if you are over or under weight. Especially if you are obese.

If you are overweight, people may assume that you have little self-discipline and self-respect They may be reluctant to hire or do business with you.

Being underweight isn’t much better. No one is going to want to work with you if you look sick, anemic or anorexic.

Most weight issues can be fixed with dedication to proper diet and exercise.

When it comes to your dental aesthetics, it’s vitally important you put your best smile forward.

At Bay Dental + Orthodontics, we have several options to offer.

First, we have Invisalign™, the clear alternative to braces. We also have Snap-On Smile™ and other cosmetic dental solutions for you to choose from.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that invisible braces, such as Invisalign™ are an easy, painless way to get straight teeth.

But, you do have to be a rocket scientist to invent invisible braces. Invisalign™ is made from Translucent Polycrystalline Alumina (TPA), a material developed by NASA’s Advanced Ceramics Research, originally designed to protect heat seeking missiles. ^[i]

Now, instead of protecting missiles, these clear braces protect and straighten your teeth.

Invisible braces and invisible were first sold in 1987, but their prices were less cost effective than Invisalign™ prices and the procedure was much less precise. At twice the cost, these first generation invisible braces resembled mouth guards, they were cumbersome, ill-fitting and almost as bad as traditional wire braces.

In 1997, Stanford University students Zia Chishti and Kelsey Wirth perfected the Invisalign™ orthodontics procedure. ^[ii]

The MBA students used high-tech computer imaging graphics to make sure that the invisible braces work exactly like metal braces, without the pain and the constant adjustments.

Here’s a fun fact; neither Chishti nor Wirth had any dental training, they were both traditional braces users that were tired of dealing with teeth issues.

Invisalign™ officially hit the markets in 2000 and instantly became the easiest to use, most popular invisible braces ever.
