Mel had always wanted straight teeth – and as you can see from her reaction in the video below, she was delighted (you could say totally gobsmacked) when her new smile was finally revealed. \u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1487851055262{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zKtxA6cEFSg”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]You\u2019ll notice in the video that I don\u2019t say very much.

This was borne out in a recent survey of 2,000 people in the US which looked at the impact that straightening one\u2019s teeth has on their overall confidence. The survey<\/a>, commissioned by Invisalign <\/a>and carried out by Harris Poll,<\/span>\u00a0looked at \u00a0the effect of \u00a0straight teeth on various \u00a0factors \u00a0including appearance, success and happiness. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]
