Considering orthodontic treatment to create the beautiful smile you always dreamed of? It is a big decision and one that requires research if you are considering Invisalign as an alternative to traditional braces. Both will lead to your new smile, but the roads traveled are quite different.
Everyone is familiar with braces that are available in both metal and clear ceramic brackets so let’s just discuss Invisalign. One of the primary reasons people choose braces is that they are self-conscious about wearing braces and the aligners are nearly undetectable when worn. Most people won’t even notice you are wearing them. And, contrary to belief or despite what you have heard, your speech sounds fine to others in a very short period of time once you get used to wearing the Invisalign aligner.
Most patients have the option of choosing Orthodontists or Invisalign, but Invisalign doesn’t always work for everyone and Dr. Sepi Torkan can help you decide if Invisalign is a good choice for your or your teen.
Points to Consider when choosing braces vs Invisalign
• Are you or your child self-disciplined? Since Invisalign is removable, following instructions, wearing your aligners except when eating and brushing your teeth, and keeping track of them when out of the mouth is important for success. When wearing braces, we don’t have to depend so much on the patient to get the job done.
• Patients are required to wear the aligners 20 – 22 hours per day and when switching to their next set of aligners every two weeks, understand the new aligners are snug in order to continue the tooth movement process. Some short term discomfort should be expected and the aligners cannot be removed to eliminate the issue. We suggest you put your new aligner in right before bed with Tylenol. By morning your teeth will most likely already adapted to the new fit.
• Is Invisalign the best option for you? An orthodontist is a specialist in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. All orthodontists are dentists, but only about six percent of dentists are orthodontists. - with their specialized training are more qualified to determine what orthodontic treatment option is best for you or your child over a lifetime of smiles based on a fully educated decision.
Treatment time with Invisalign varies, depending upon the severity of the problem and is usually for a minimum of 12 months. If you are not sure that you or your child is a good candidate for Invisalign, the team at iSmile Orthodontics will address your treatment concerns during a complimentary smile exam to determine whether braces or Invisalign is best for you.
The business sphere is transforming rapidly, together with an ever-changing civilization. From the pandemic year till now, we have experienced a noticeable increase in struggles for every leader of an organization or a corporate firm.
Many CEOs today need to cope with tensions in their region`s economy. They must also manage constant supply-chain interruptions and improve talent attrition in the job markets.
Grant Kelly, a top business person, believes CEOs can overcome most of the challenges by building and managing high-performing teams in their global marketplace.
In as much as Grant Kelley proposes the idea of building and leading exceptional teams as a strategy to curb potential difficulties in the economic arena, he also stresses that it requires more than just bringing together a group of gifted and skillful people. “Careful development of these teams and grooming of key traits, character, and action is what CEOs must do to build an outstanding team,” he added.
Here are the critical aspects of building and leading a top-notch performing team and how to nurture them in your corporate landscape.
Do not expect to create a high-performing team for your organization when you are not performing outstandingly. Exceptional CEOs know their strengths and weaknesses. They are very conscious of their being, and they are emotionally and intellectually proficient.
High-performing CEOs know how to portray the “big-picture plan” and vision in an enlightening manner and effectively communicate the details in implementing such a plan.
Excellent CEOs should also have listening skills and know the best questions to ask that will bring the best out of their team. Finally, they must be accountable, foster trust and strengthen relationships amongst employees.
It is much easier to attain a desired goal in business when the team working with you knows their targets and the part to play in achieving them. A team that needs to be exceptional must understand what they must do and how to do it.
Additionally, a CEO needs a team that defines each member`s role and responsibility, especially in dealing with conflict and inefficiencies. Therefore, when they pay attention to this, they can improve the productivity of the talented team, and such groups will often avoid confusion over project ownership, and they will be able to keep deadlines and workflows organized.
When CEOs encourage and handle diversity effectively, success is guaranteed. Building and leading a high-performing team with diverse people, mindsets, cultures, races, and ethnicity is more likely to improve the financial return of your business.
A team with diverse people and attributes helps to cover more knowledge and experience in the industry landscape. Such a team can help sharpen the thinking of every individual involved in the business field for better performance in their respective role.
If CEOs wish to build an innovative team for their organization, integrating people with diverse backgrounds, skill sets, knowledge, etc., can make it possible.
Final Thoughts
Most successful companies we have today attribute their success to a high-performing team. Hence, every CEO who desires to attain maximum and long-lasting performance must focus on building an excellent team to work with.
