With summer fast approaching, many of you will be thinking about how youre going to tone up your body and fit into that bikini for those hours of sun-worshipping on the beach. After all, there is never a more important time to look your best.But, have you considered that one accessory which will help you perfect your summer look a dazzling straight smile? A recent survey by Invisalign found that over a third (36%) of women in the UK are embarrassed by the appearance of their teeth, with 29% wishing they had straight, even teeth. However, nearly two thirds (65%) said that a good smile would make them feel more confident, just what you need when you step onto the beach!According to research, overseas trips are part of the fabric of British society,with many Brits taking more than one holiday – and we do like to look our best while were mingling with our glamorous international friends. British women spend 7bn on a pre-holiday makeover to look glamorous and feel confident on the beach. When you consider the average cost of a holiday for two including flights, hotel and transfers costs 1,050, and add the money exchanged for foreign currency, before setting off, at an average of 318, the pre-holiday makeover essentials including clothes, shoes, accessories and beauty treatments at 300, then you have an average of over 1600 spent on a holiday before you even consider what gets spent on the credit cards (an average of 799 in 2006).If you rein in on that spending and took just one holiday this year, you could invest in your smile with Align Technology’s Invisalign to achieve your perfect smile.
