You can tell a lot about a person by a smile.A simple, straightforward, sincere smile can attract more than admiring looks. A smiling face tells people that you’re an outgoing and intelligent person worth getting to know.Beside showing off a person’s pearly whites, smiling can benefit your health, perception at work and social life.And in order to make that smile shine, regular trips to the dentist — and sometimes orthodontist — are needed.And yes, there is a difference.”A general dentist is like a family doctor,” said Dr. Jesse Teng, who is with Mundy & Teng Orthodontics. “If you have a tooth ache or a dental cleaning, they are great for those types of treatments. For orthodontist, it’s a little bit more specialized.”
