Your smile is the first thing people see and it’s usually a major factor in making that first impression on those you meet. One of the biggest detriments to your confidence is a bad smile. The good news is that it is something you can change. Many people don’t consider the possibilities of having a great smile, but there is no denying that it has a huge impact on a person’s overall appearance and thus, their confidence.

Smiling is a natural way to show that you are warm, inviting, and happy. For those with less than perfect teeth, crooked teeth, discolored teeth, or even missing teeth, smiling can cause serious social anxiety that makes it difficult to smile and look—and feel—warm and inviting. For some, this might seem like an illogical hang-up, for others, it is a serious issue.

A great smile can improve your overall confidence which has a trickle-down effect that can positively change a great deal about your life. When you have more confidence, you first and foremost are more willing to smile. How often have you felt that your smile has held you back, that it has led to missed opportunities? Studies have shown that a smile in a job interview can show that you are excited about the opportunity, that you are ready to work, and that you are confident in your abilities and yourself. Studies have also shown that those that are confident with their smile tend to achieve more and are happier overall.

Why should you correct your smile? A bright smile shows that you are confident and lifts your spirits. A smile you can show off will brighten your mood, brighten the moods of those around you, and can help open doors to countless opportunities. With the right smile, you can be confident and radiant as you should be.
