My dentist said I needed a new electric toothbrush at my last visit so I bought the Oral-B 7000. I had been using the old one (non-rotation spinning bristles) for probably a little over a year. Unfortunately, I still had problems with my teeth and they weren’t as white as I wanted them to be, even with whitening strips. I bought the Oral-B 7000 because it was the first brush recommended to me.

The way that you look matters more than it probably should because people judge you on your appearance and your smile. One of the most critical issues in how you look is whether you have a healthy set of teeth. A recent survey is out that reports that 37% of people say the first thing that they notice when meeting someone is their smile.
Badly shaped, missing, crooked or yellowed teeth can be off-putting, but it’s even worse if your teeth cause embarrassment that prevents you from smiling.
Serious tooth alignment problems can prove tremendously embarrassing. Genuine smiles make you approachable and enhance your appearance.
Even if you have tooth problems, smiling is more important to social and business success than not smiling to hide some dental imperfections.

Social interaction begins when you improve your smile. A pleasing face with a wide, happy smile or an impish grin is more likely to attract people than its opposite. People make sure their teeth are clean and white in order to effect this pleasing face. What they don’t make sure of is the tightness of the facial muscles that pull a smile across the face.

Invisalign Lite is an excellent option if you have any minor orthodontic issues. You will need a maximum of ten transparent aligners for your complete treatment. This decreases both the time and cost of the traditional Invisalign treatment. The Lite version works in a similar manner to the original Invisalign concept. The differences are your treatment will require a shorter period of time and was created for much less complicated orthodontic issues. In many cases, the treatment can be completed in just six months.
