Perfectly Productive



As a working professional, you know how important your appearance is. You want customers, clients and colleagues to take you seriously, so chances are your work wardrobe is impeccible and you spend a significant amount of time on your grooming regime to ensure you look neat, tidy and respectable. If you're insecure about your teeth, chances are you'll have considered treatments that are available but put off the idea of traditional braces in the worry they'll stand out or make you look juvenile. However, you dont need to put an end to the idea of straight teeth as an adult, treatments such as  Invisalign St John’s Wood, appear less conspicuous and can be a fantastic way of going about things when you need to maintain a professional appearance. Here's what you need to know. 

Can you eat regular foods whilst undergoing treatment or is there a special diet? 
In order to avoid wearing down the material of the aligner, it is recommended that during times of food consumption, whether it be main meals or snacks, the aligner be removed. This not only protects the equipment but also helps avoid the build-up of food within the aligner. Whilst the removal of the appliance is important during this time, it is also vital that the aligner is returned to position and worn for around 22 hours a day. With this longevity in mind, it is strongly advised to carry out oral hygiene before returning the aligner to the mouth so as to avoid food debris being pressed against the tooth for long periods of time. Not only would this encourage a build-up of plaque but would also be unpleasant should another person comment on the debris between the teeth. It will mean starting up a dental care routine that works around your working hours, ideally each lunch break and at snack times you will remove your invisalign and rinse your mouth. 

What about drinking? 
Drinking sugary drinks, caffeinated drinks or alcohol is not generally advised during treatment as the teeth will most likely sit in the liquid for longer than intended. This can lead to staining of the teeth, plaque build-up and other dental problems. For this reason, if possible it is best to stick with water throughout the treatment. If you're used to being highly caffeinated to get through your busy work day then this is something to consider.

How are adjustments carried out? 
Unlike the more traditional brace methods, the inconspicuous aligners are tailor-made and therefore fit the patient’s teeth snugly. As the treatment progresses and the teeth begin to shift, as per your dentist's instructions, you will need to switch to the next set of aligners and then the next as progress is made. Using a series of aligners to push the teeth into a new position helps ensure that progress is continuously being achieved without the tightening of screws or elastic bands. 

Will my speech be impacted? 
As a professional person who will be communicating with others on a daily basis, this may be a worry as you need to maintain good speech. With all appliances in the mouth, it is common for slight alterations to the speech to occur. However, as you adjust to the aligner, your tongue will learn how to work around the aligner and therefore this is often a temporary change to speech. 

Setting everything in motion. 
Although a click of the fingers and the treatment is yours sounds like a marvellous idea, it is important to understand the entire process as well as discover whether the treatment is the most suitable for your individual case. It is therefore important to begin discussions with your dental team before setting your heart on a particular treatment. Open up the discussion, attend a consultation and see where you end up.

There are so many little jobs that we need to carry out in order for our life to tick over nicely. Things like grocery orders, paying bills, and organising your professional and social calendars. For busy people, all of these necessary jobs always tend to get in the way, and they can often be neglected when work or our personal lives take over.  It shouldn’t be like that, though, as life admin is extremely important. If you forget to take care of some of it, you could end up facing some big issues, such as fines for late payments. But how are you meant to manage it all when you are so busy in other areas of your life? Here are some great tips to help busy people with their life admin.

Automate Your Bills
It’s worth considering setting up automatic monthly payments for your regular bills if you haven’t already done so. This will then take one load off your mind each month. This is something I've set up myself recently, and would never look back now. Paying bills as they come in will often leave you in a 'rich week' or 'poor week' situation where the amounts are always different. Instead, work out the monthly cost of all of your bills, and then divide it by four. Each week, you put the same amount into your bills account, and set everything so it's taken automatically by direct debit. Just be sure to put a little extra money in at first as a buffer, but after a couple of weeks it all evens itself out. The only time you have to intervene is if you need to change the amount or cancel it. Simple! As well as this, you could also consider a cash management account from the likes of SoFi (https://www.sofi.com/money/) - if you save well and spend money wisely you'll get rewarded, which is a great incentive to push you to manage your money better. Combine this with automating your bills and you're sure to be onto a winner! You could try an online accountant to further automate your money and ensure that your books remain balanced and your money is being utilised in the best possible way. 

Outsource Some Tasks
You might be very familiar with outsourcing in the workplace. It’s when you hire a contractor or freelancer to do some of your work for you. For the past few years, this has been confined to the professional sphere, but now more and more people are outsourcing their personal life admin as well. For instance, you might want to hire a company like Box-it Central to destroy all your old documents that you've been meaning to do for a while. You might also want to find an accountant to take care of your family’s finances for you. If you don't have the time or skills to do things yourself to the highest standard, there's plenty of outside help that you can utilise. 

Use Your Phone
There are so many apps that you can use to help you keep track of your life. These include calendars,  list-making apps, and various kinds of online banking. All of these are great as they allow you to take care of your life admin on the go. You’ll even be able to set yourself reminders and alarms so that you never forget about looming deadlines!
