The Impact of Self Confidence

When there's a choice of giving yourself the confidence or working on that confidence in any area of your life, I think you have to take it. I think the mental health component that we witness and that patients experience is really one of the more transformative things that we see. Yes, we see the esthetic part of it, the aesthetic piece, but the confidence that patients walk in with, say a month or two months or three months or six months after they've gotten this procedure, now feel more confident. It's just palpable. It's the way they carry themselves, it's the way they speak, it's their confidence in a professional setting, it's their confidence in social settings. It's paramount to their psychological well being. The same way I think it is to addressing any insecurity you may have. I think when there's a choice of giving yourself the confidence or working on that confidence in any area of your life, I think you have to take it. And if for some people it's the smile, then it's the smile, and for some people it's something else, like going to the gym, then that's it for that other person. But everyone comes into this life with some insecurities. And like I said, this day and age we have the technology and the ability to make those changes for ourselves. So the overall connection between our smile and our mental health, I think is huge. I think it's important for our psychological well being and the way we show up, and also just metaphorically, the way we use our mouth and the way we use our words has a huge connection to our mental health and the mental health of those around us too.
