Step Up Your Selfie Game with Orthodontics

Making Smiles Inside & Out

  • Reynolds & Stoner Orthodontics
  • July 2, 2020

Every patient has their own reasons for deciding to undergo orthodontic treatment. For adolescents and teens, image has always been a key factor in social integration, and in today’s beauty-conscious society, a beautiful smile is high on their list of priorities.

The ever-popular selfie gives teens a confidence boost and social media is the ideal platform to broadcast themselves to the world. So much so, that:

  • 65% of teenage girls reported that seeing their selfies on social media actually boosts their confidence.
  • 40% of all teens say social media helps them present their best face to the world.
  • At least 81 percent of teens, ages 12-17, use social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, according to recent findings from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, with Instagram especially popular among selfie-loving teenage girls.

On other hand, many teens have mixed feelings about “Selfie Esteem”. Social media can also make them feel bad about themselves.

  • 55 percent of girls and 34 percent of teen boys say “overall, social media makes me feel more self-conscious about my appearance.”
  • 58 percent of teen girls say “seeing pictures of other people living glamorous-looking lives on social media makes me feel bad about myself.” Only 19 percent of teen boys have the same reaction.
  • 30 percent of all teens say social media means they always need to be “camera-ready.”

Creating A Camera Ready Smile

With so much emphasis is being placed on looking good on social media and during personal interaction with peers, friends, and family, it’s no wonder we are seeing so many adolescents and teens wearing braces on every corner to improve their smile and self-esteem.

Years ago, it wasn’t cool to be seen wearing braces. Today, it accepted in all social, academic, and business environments, especially with more aesthetic braces and orthodontic alternatives that are now available. While metal braces are still the most popular, colored elastics are an option to switch up your look and ceramic brackets that are tooth-colored and barely visible give young patients more confidence during treatment.

Invisalign, an alternative to fixed braces, is also popular with teens who don’t want to be seen wearing braces and are mature enough to handle the responsibilities that go hand in hand with removable appliances. Aligners must be worn 20 hours per day and changed every two weeks, taking care to avoid loss or breakage.

Why Choose an Orthodontist?

Orthodontic treatment involves the use of braces and other dental technologies to apply precise forces that result in desirable re-positioning of the teeth. These changes improve not only the look of your smile, but the health and longevity of your teeth over a lifetime.

Some general dentists take continuing-education seminars in order to offer orthodontic services as a sideline to their primary services. Only your dentist knows what he or she is qualified to do well, however, with so much depending on the quality of treatment, choosing an orthodontic specialist helps ensure that you get the best results possible.

The title of orthodontist is reserved for only those specialists who have undergone two or more years of additional post-doctoral education from an accredited university. Only 6% of all general dentists pursue the rigorous additional training required to become an orthodontist. In addition to having completed this training.

Membership in the AAO (American Association of Orthodontists) requires a degree from an accredited orthodontic program, it’s an easy way to distinguish between dentists practicing orthodontics and those formally trained as orthodontists. Dr. Mark Reynolds is a member of the AAO.

My orthodontic journey at Reynolds and Stoner is coming to an end and my experience was nothing short of amazing. They were very transparent about their concerns and explained thoroughly what my treatment plan would consist of. The entire staff is super friendly and always has smiles on their faces. I never had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Reynolds but Dr. Stoner took great care of me. I will definitely miss seeing the staff when I get my braces off. I would 100% recommend Reynolds and Stoner Orthodontics to anyone in the triad area looking to perfect their smile!
Chris N.
As an older adult client, I was hesitant to go through the treatment process. My teeth had shifted and were turning. I was self conscious about it and didn't smile in family photos. I went to Reynolds & Stoner and decided to get Invisalign and am so happy I did! The results were amazing and I now smile in photos. I sincerely recommend Reynolds and Stoner if you want beautiful teeth!
