You wait all summer, counting down the days and then finally it arrives. It’s time to pack up the car and move out to University. It’s time to say goodbye to having your ironing and clothes washed for you, meals with fresh vegetables and time to get used to fending for yourself. This is something that most people are most scared about when leaving home; others are much more concerned about meeting lots of new people and the prospect of making new friends.
The first few days and weeks at university are all about meeting new people from all over the country and making new friends. Friends that are made at University will usually stay as friends for years to come, usually because they share the same interests, but also because they are there sharing one of the most important times of your life. Memories made with friends at university are some of the best you are ever likely to have.
The idea of making lots of new friends will appeal greatly to some. Partying and trying out the nightlife are right at the top of many new students’ agendas, but for others it couldn’t be any nearer the bottom. Some may be shy, or just not that keen on socialising, others may not feel too confident about approaching people they have never met before. Some people who are shy are so because they aren’t happy with their appearance or in some cases their teeth. If you are not happy with your teeth or smile and feel like it holds you back in such situations, there is help at hand.
A quick fix for those looking to start new courses in September is teeth whitening. Home kits are widely available, but for the best results nothing beats professional laser whitening. The professional whitening usually takes about one and a half hours to complete, but whiter teeth can be seen almost instantly. This is great for those who smoke or drink a lot of tea and coffee, all three seem to be popular with students so it could be well worth looking into!
Teeth that aren’t straight or are misaligned do require lengthier treatments. Some who are due to attend University will put off any sort of straightening treatment as they don’t want to wear a brace or to be more matter of fact, they don’t want to be seen wearing a brace. There is a modern solution to this problem – clear braces. These are braces constructed out clear hard wearing plastic that are custom made to fit each individual patient’s needs.
The best thing about clear braces is that they are practically invisible, but there are other advantages. Another big advantage is that they can be removed at any time, making cleaning the brace and your teeth easy. It’s also handy if you are due to go out somewhere for a meal or function (as happens frequently in the first few weeks of starting university) where you will be likely to come across food that may be difficult to eat with a brace.
There are multiple orthodontic and cosmetic dental treatments available for people of all ages nowadays so there is no need to struggle with or be worried about your smile. If you are starting university, a new job or maybe you’re off on holiday and want to look your best, a cosmetic dental treatment could be just what you need to give you that little extra bit of self confidence.
If you are considering having your teeth straightened try the The Brace in London. They offer all of the latest treatments including Invisalign clear braces.
