Mar 24    Invisalign Day
  Did you know that your smile is one of the biggest factors affecting others' perception of you? Many studies have been done and they show similar results. People with a nice, straight smile are seen by others as more successful, healthy, and happy. Those people are more likely to be chosen for a job and to be remembered after meeting someone for the first time. We also know that people who are happy with their smile are more confident and that confidence positively affects all aspects of their lives.  

On Invisalign Day, the office clears its schedule as Dr. Maria E. Marzo will be providing complimentary consultations to answer your questions about Invisalign treatment - the clear way to straighten teeth. If you have ever wondered if Invisalign is right for you, call us to schedule a consult on Invisalign Day!
