Too many American adults are unhappy with their smile. In fact, according to a recent survey conducted by the American Association of Orthodontics more than 1/3 of adults reported they didn’t like their smile. What better time than right now, to promise yourself or someone you love a beautiful new smile.
Let’s take a closer look at the details of this study of 1,000 U. S adults 18 years of age and older.

What do you think is the biggest dating turnoff among men and women? If you hadn’t guessed already, it’s bad teeth.

Furthermore, the survey found that 22 percent of Americans who are unhappy with their smile think that better teeth would lead to a better love life.
