Believe it or not, but they say that it takes seven seconds to make a lasting impression on someone. In fact, teeth can be something that stands out to many of us. Now, this man explains how fixing his teeth changed his life forever.
The Start Of It All
Jon Torsch took to social media to share his story. It turned out that Jon was so embarrassed by his teeth that he had taught himself how to smile without his teeth on show as a kid. It was something that stuck, even when he was supposed to be celebrating incredible moments in his life.
Feeling Unsure
That wasn’t all. Jon confessed that he had grown up without a lot of money, and didn’t have insurance for a decade until he was 27 years old. Spending his insurance on getting his teeth altered went against the mindset Job had grown up with his whole life.
The Costs
Amazingly, it took $4,000 and two years to get the results that Jon wanted. He needed braces, retainers, and bonding to help get his teeth where they needed to be. Jon couldn’t believe how much it cost, but he knew that something had to change at long last.
Changing His Life
Thankfully, Jon is overwhelmed with his new smile. He confessed that he had no idea how to feel as soon as he looked in the mirror, but Jon soon realized that he was relieved to put such a huge part of his life to rest after all these years.
Now, Jon wants dental care to be a standard part of healthcare plans. He believes that his teeth had such a considerable impact on his mental health that he can’t be alone in his thoughts. Hopefully, Jon’s story might be the start of something incredible.
