How painful is it to find out, as a parent, that your child is getting bullied or made fun of for his or her looks?
With the prominence of social media, a person’s facial features (and any detected defects) become scrutinized and magnified that much more.
With suicide increasing by 24% in the last decade, self-confidence is much more valuable than we often realize.
Even if a child isn’t made fun of for bad teeth development, as an adult presenting college assignments, interviewing for jobs and working in public environments every day, how you look (and how you feel that you look) means everything.
A new smile could mean finally looking in the mirror and loving what you see - realizing that no professional or social opportunity will ever be lost because of looks or other people’s perceptions. That’s powerful indeed.
