A few are chipped and crooked. Could that be the problem?<\/p>\n<p>Davis L., Washington<\/p>\n<p>Davis,<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think that is far fetched at all. We are often judged and categroized in the first few seconds of a meeting with someone. As they haven&#8217;t had time to really get to know us, the judgment is based on appearance and maybe very intitial greetings and responses. \u00a0Our smile is one of the first things people notice about us.<\/p>\n<p>If yours is unattractive, and you readily admit it is, that could likely be the factor that is keeping you from closing a deal with a hiring company. \u00a0The easiest way to find out would be to fix your smile.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend you use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\/tulsa-invisalign\/\">Invisalign<\/a> to do that. It is invisible, even at a conversational distance, so that will allow you to go to interviews without feeling self conscious about your orthodontics.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible to whiten your teeth at the same time. \u00a0You can ask your dentist to allow you to use your invisalign aligners as whitening trays and just provide you with the gel. \u00a0This will also save you money.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck with the job search. \u00a0This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\">Tulsa Dentist<\/a> Dr. Ryan Noah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A company I worked for has closed. \u00a0I worked with them for ten years. \u00a0The owner sold it and the new owners decided to only use their own people. \u00a0So, here I am looking for a job, something I never thought I&#8217;d have to do again. \u00a0My qualifications and recommendations are good. \u00a0I always get [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[241,243,240,71,164,166],"class_list":{"0":"post-415","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-invisalign","7":"tag-does-your-smile-affect-your-job-interview","8":"tag-glenpool-dentist","9":"tag-region-dental","10":"tag-smile-makeover","11":"tag-tulsa-dentist","12":"tag-tulsa-invisalign","13":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Could my teeth be keeping me from getting hired?
