A visit to the orthodontist can teach patients about the physical advantages of straighter teeth; however, often patients find that orthodontic treatment can enhance their self-confidence, explains Dr. Aly Kanani, a Vancouver, BC orthodontics provider.
On its website, The American Association of Orthodontics explains that a nice smile can improve self-esteem. One reason is that orthodontic treatment can bring lips, teeth and face into proportion. "These changes can have a positive impact on social and career success, improving the patient's entire attitude," says Dr. Kanani.
