Since I deal with a lot of people at work, I was constantly self-conscious about the color and alignment of my teeth. I also felt like my face looked a bit dull overall, so after some deliberation, I decided to go ahead with it. During the consultation, I was impressed by how they seemed to tailor the approach to fit my image. Since the procedure, I do hear a lot of comments saying that my overall impression looks brighter. I also feel like I'm less self-conscious about the alignment than before. I didn't originally have any major functional issues, but since it was something I kept worrying about, I made the decision, and now I think that was a good choice. People around me tend to notice the change, so lately I find myself paying even more attention to it because of that. The cost was a concern, but as of now, I'm just managing to keep an eye on how things look. Haha.
