Hi, my name is Linzi, and from as far back as I remember I have always hated the appearance of my teeth and had problems with my gums. All through my school life, I joked along with the comments made about the way my teeth looked as I found it an easier way to cope. When really deep down it hurt and made me feel extremely embarrassed.
My two front teeth overlapped, I had a fang which grew forward also overlapping the tooth in front of it, which was on show every time I opened my mouth. My gums were painful and a lot of my teeth had holes in them, which affected my life a lot.
I went to a dentist on numerous occasions complaining of toothache where I honestly didn’t see and feel any improvement. After many years of this I finally plucked up the courage and decided to get a second opinion. This was when I was recommended to Magicsmiles Dental Studios by a friend.
At my first appointment I was extremely nervous due to previous dental experiences, but I was calmed and reassured by the dentist, who gave me a thorough examination including x-rays and asked me how I would like the final result of my teeth to look like once the hygiene was up to scratch.
The result of my x-rays showed an abscess which was taken care of straight away. It was such a relief to not be in pain any more. I was shown how to improve the hygiene for my teeth and gums and the teeth that had holes in them were also repaired.
I was told that a brace is what I needed to mend the appearance of how my teeth looked. I was horrified at the thought of having big metal square pieces stuck to my teeth, I had avoided treatment when I was younger for the very same reason, but to my surprise my dentist explained to me all about the Clearsmiles brace available at Magicsmiles.
I was still quite wary of how the braces would look. I am a full time hairdresser and quite conscious of the way I look and having confidence is the most important part of my job and life.
The day came when my appointment was to pick up my brace. I was absolutely amazed. I placed it in and looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn’t believe how invisible it was, and to my surprise I actually really liked the look of my teeth with the brace in as it made the condition of my teeth look really healthy.
At every visit I could see the difference the brace was making and I actually looked forward to going to the dentist. The staff have helped me overcome my fears of the dentist and has improved the health of my teeth and gums.
The results of my brace are amazing, it has worked really quickly and I can’t believe how comfortable it has been. I have heard of so many scary stories of when people have had the fixed metal braces.
Now I can join in on the conversation when it is brought up and explain how satisfying my experience of having braces felt. I would highly recommend Magicsmiles and to have the Clearsmiles at any age, as my only regret is that I didn’t have it done years ago. They have changed my life for good and gave me the biggest confidence boost I have always needed. I love my Hollywood smile!
