Why improving your smile can advance your career

Orthodontic Treatment: Whether we would like to admit it, or not, appearance influences our first impressions of people. Someone with wrinkled clothes can appear sloppy while someone with their hair perfectly groomed may come across as being very serious. Just like hairstyle and outfit choice, one’s smile can strongly affect our opinions of them. A smile is commonly the first thing we notice when we meet someone new. A person with a full set of straight teeth is often considered more attractive, happy, and healthy. Noticeable flaws in one’s smile can leave a negative impression. A beautiful and genuine smile displays happiness, confidence, and friendliness. Who wouldn’t want to be around someone like that?

Fortunately, Dr. Maria Yazji Orthodontics knows all too well how a smile can impact one’s confidence. If you are hiding your teeth or smile, employers, coworkers, and clients will notice. When you aren’t smiling, you can seem angry, unapproachable, and you appear less confident. Coming across as someone who appears to lack confidence in themselves, or who may not seem to work well with others can hurt your career immensely. No matter what field you are pursuing, improving your smile can improve your employment prospects. Employers want to hire and promote someone who appears successful, competent, productive, and is a team player. They want friendly, confident, and genuine individuals representing their brand. Let your employer know that you are a good representation of the company by showing off a beautiful, genuine smile! Flash them see a smile they will remember!
