Some Olympians show off their smiles, others try to hide their frowns or sorrow. One thing is for certain, the athletes who wear medals have plenty of attention on their faces. If you can’t imagine standing on the podium or in front of a crowd with your teeth as they are now, it’s time to invest in your own Olympic-sized smile makeover so you’re ready to show your smile, whether you’re under pressure and experiencing overwhelming joy.
1. Straighten Up
Invisalign is one of the most popular orthodontic treatments available. These clear aligners are customized to the needs of your unique teeth and designed to move a few teeth at a time until your entire smile is straight. The great beauty of Invisalign is how discreet the trays are. They are thin, smooth, clear, and fit snugly against the teeth so no one will notice that you’re in the process of working out a new smile.
2. Go for the Bright
White teeth look like flawless teeth. Even if you have a few crooked or gapped teeth, when tooth enamel is bleached with professional teeth whitening it gives off the illusion of perfection. No athlete can trick a judge into granting them a win based on a technicality, but your smile can certainly look like it’s super-flawless, and that’s a success all by itself.
3. Transform Yourself
If there is one smile makeover procedure that can transform your entire look with one treatment, it’s porcelain veneers. These thin, strong, porcelain shields cover your most prominent teeth and conceal all imperfections in the process. Veneers are also designed to build out a smile with dark edges or short teeth. Accompany the treatment with laser dentistry and the results are even more powerful.
4. Cap Off the Win
Porcelain crowns aren’t only meant for covering teeth that have undergone a root canal. This treatment is meant to fix or beautify a tooth. Crowns reinforce a weak or deteriorating tooth while they also cap off teeth that aren’t as pretty as the rest of your teeth. These customized crowns are strong and blend right into the rest of your teeth to complete what was once a marred smile.
5. Address Injuries ASAP
One of the worst things an athlete can do for their career is wait for a doctor’s opinion, physical therapy, or other types of treatment after they suffer an injury. If you have a dental emergency, prioritize your oral health and see a dentist right away to get treatment for a broken or chipped tooth or toothache pain. You can recover faster and easier with immediate professional attention but trying to push through the pain will not make it go away and could cause more complications in the process.
