Hey Austin!  Our smile, or a lack thereof, says a lot. Do you like to show your smile? Or, do you tend to hide it? If you find that you’re not smiling while others around you are, then a visit to RJ Orthodontics may be the solution.  Dr. RJ Jackson can help put that great smile of yours back on your face, which can help in so many ways. Let’s look at a few reasons why you should take the first step to visit our Orthodontic office located in the Steiner Ranch area of Austin, TX.

Benefits to your overall dental and oral health

We constantly use our teeth and mouths. From the time we wake up to the time we sleep, we are constantly taking part in activities like eating, talking on our cellphones, or having conversations with coworkers, family, or friends. If your teeth are misaligned, they can cause damage to softer parts of your mouth or your other teeth simply through the action of talking and chewing. Getting your bite aligned can reduce the risk of damage and injury to your mouth and other teeth.

Helps your Self-esteem

Self-esteem is a complicated thing that is dependent upon so many factors, and our appearance tends to be one of those factors.  Dr. RJ can help get that smile of yours back on track so you can share it with the world again. Being happy about our smile can give us that much-needed boost to our self-esteem, which can put you on the road to even higher achievement. This can really be important for teens, especially, as they are readying themselves for many life changes that lie ahead. A teen with higher self-esteem is a teen destined for success.

Improves Communication

Our smile projects self-assurance, confidence, and comfort. It’s so much easier to feel better about being around people whose body language tells us they want to be around us, isn’t it? Often people who fold their arms while we speak with them can appear to be aloof or antisocial. The lack of a genuine smile can convey a similar message to others. Our faces are usually the first impression others get when speaking with us, so it is important to have a smile that conveys the proper message. If our body language is more welcoming, we will be more friendly and welcoming to coworkers and new acquaintances. That fresh smile that Dr. RJ can give you, will make you more confident in social circumstances, even those that may be a bit stressful. We all want to show that we are calm under pressure, right? A confident grin does just that.

So, when you’re ready to take that first step toward greater health and confidence, contact RJ Orthodontics Austin Texas. With years of experience helping others find their smile, we are here to help you find YOUR smile.
