Lehigh Valley Orthodontist Gives Valentine’s Advice

Valentine’s Day — a time for couples to celebrate their luck in the field of love and a time for singles to go searching for their special someone. Do you dread Valentine’s Day and fault the holiday for reminding you of your love life’s bumps in the road? Isn’t it about time to put an end to the Valentine’s Day negativity, and go in the direction of cupid’s arrow? Absolutely! This year, Dr. Bob Bryan Orthodontics says put aside the chocolates and glasses of wine, and set yourself to a happier standard. Put a smile on your face!

In a recent survey, it was found that men prefer women who smile more than those that look serious. When male students, aged 24 to 40 years old, were asked what attracted them most about a woman, every single one said “A woman who smiles a lot.” If you smile often, men think you are friendly, approachable, and happy. Nobody wants to hang around with a gloomy person, but everyone likes to be with a happy one! Being a woman who smiles a lot also attracts men because it makes you look self-confident. Confidence in yourself automatically translates into attraction from others.

Researchers have also begun to notice that showing a happy, smiling face is considered essential to social interaction. “When someone has a big smile, it shows they’re willing to open up and expose a part of themselves,” says Pamela McClain, DDS, president of the American Academy of Periodontology. Someone who is more open to interaction will be easier to get to know, and therefore easier to make a connection with.

But how can you open up and express all of these through a smile? It’s easy if you let Dr. Bob Bryan Orthodontics help! By having a beautiful smile, you will not hesitate to flash your teeth in every available situation. It has been proven that someone who is confident in their smile will show this confidence in all other areas of life. So, gain the confidence of a great smile! A smiling, confident, and approachable look is just what you need to help get out of your Valentine’s Day rut, and Dr. Bob Bryan Orthodontics can help you out with that!
