At Miami Designer Smiles, our goal is more than just providing dental care—we strive to transform lives by offering solutions that improve our patients’ smiles and overall health. Lillian’s 16-year journey with us is a testament to the power of comprehensive dental treatment, from orthodontics to addressing sleep apnea. Here’s how Miami Designer Smiles helped Lillian not only love her smile but also significantly improve her quality of life.
Lillian’s Story
Lillian has been a loyal patient of Miami Designer Smiles for over 16 years. Over the years, she has undergone a range of treatments, including fillings, cleanings, and orthodontic work, that have dramatically improved her oral health and overall well-being.
“I didn’t like the way I would smile or open my mouth. I would snore a lot and would hold my breath two or three times a night,” Lillian recalls.
Sleep apnea, which disrupts breathing during sleep, was significantly impacting Lillian’s quality of life. She was using a CPAP machine to manage her condition, which can be cumbersome, especially while traveling. But everything began to change once she visited Miami Designer Smiles for orthodontic treatment.
A Breath of Fresh Air: Orthodontics and Sleep Apnea Relief
One of the most transformative aspects of Lillian’s treatment was her decision to get braces. This wasn’t just about straightening her teeth—it had a profound impact on her sleep apnea and breathing issues.
“After the braces were put in, I no longer needed the CPAP machine,” Lillian explains. “I could breathe better on my own since I had lost weight, and I was able to sleep better.”
Orthodontic treatment at Miami Designer Smiles goes beyond aesthetics. For Lillian, aligning her teeth and correcting her bite improved the position of her airway, which allowed her to breathe easier and manage her sleep apnea without the need for a CPAP machine. This newfound freedom from the machine gave her the confidence to travel and sleep without restrictions. It was life-changing.
The Challenges and Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
While braces can be challenging for some patients, Lillian faced these challenges head-on, understanding that they would lead to long-term benefits. Like many patients, she experienced some discomfort while eating with braces. The wires often made it difficult to chew food, leading to unintentional weight loss—something Lillian sees as a “blessing in disguise,” having lost about 10 pounds during her treatment.
But for Lillian, the biggest benefit of her orthodontic journey wasn’t just the weight loss or improved sleep—it was her new smile.
“I’m able to smile a little bit more. I feel good about myself. My life has changed since I had this orthodontics procedure done. I look in the mirror, and I like what I see.”
A Changed Life and Smile
Lillian’s smile transformation was more than just about aesthetics—it was about gaining confidence and improving her overall well-being. Her journey with Miami Designer Smiles allowed her to embrace her smile fully and let go of the self-consciousness she used to feel when opening her mouth.
“I’m more proud of myself now. I’m able to smile more. I look good, and I feel good,” Lillian says with a beaming smile. “I like what I see when I look in the mirror.”
