Boost Your Confidence: Enhance Your Smile Today

Your smile says everything about you, but what if you feel less than confident when smiling? The answer is to enhance your smile, a topic you can read all about how to do in the post below.

Lip fillers 

The first way you can boost your smile is to opt for lip fillers.  Increasingly popular lip fillers are small injections containing hyaluronic acid.  This substance adds volume to the lips and can help plump and shape them as well.  Lip fillers can even help you reduce the lines around your lips, giving you a more youthful look.

One of the best things about lip fillers is that the results are instant, and by working with a professional, you can get a very natural look. Lip fillers tend to be relatively good value compared to other procedures as well, and they are quick and easily completed.

Botox for gums 

Another way to enhance your smile is with Botox.  Yes, Botox is usually used to get rid of small lines on the forehead or around the eyes. It’s also quite different to the substance used for lip filler.   However, Botox has other applications as well, including being injected under the armpits to prevent sweating,  and being injected in the lips to reduce what is known as a gummy smile.

The idea here is that Botox is injected into the muscles in the upper lip.  It relaxes them, lowering the lip and so reducing the amount of gum shown as someone smiles.  Again, one of the great things about this kind of treatment is that it is non-surgical,  and results appear pretty quickly, usually about three to four days.  It’s not a permanent treatment so that means someone using Botox to reduce the going smile will need to maintain the treatment over time.

Braces 

Braces are another effective way to enhance your smile.  This is because they straighten and align teeth, giving a neater and will even look,  along with making it easier to keep your teeth clean and white over time.

There are various types of braces to choose from,  and it’s well worth looking at the differences between clear aligners vs braces when making your decision.  This is because clear aligners may be easier to wear for those who are self-conscious about braces; they do not suit every case,  and can incur greater costs.

Hydrate your lips 

Last of all, if you want your smile to truly shine, then you’ll need to make sure you have properly hydrated lips.  This means not only applying a moisturising lip balm regularly but also exfoliating your lips.

Lip exfoliation should be done around once a week,  and there are several ways of completing it.  One is to use a dry toothbrush to rub over the lips and remove any excess old or dead skin.  Another is to use a specific lip exfoliating product.  These usually contain both nourishing oils and very small exfoliating particles that are gentle enough to be used on even sensitive areas such as the lips.
