In a recent poll, 80% of Americans said they would invest money in hiding or correcting aging flaws. Of those, 62% said they would pay to fix their teeth as opposed to the 48% who said they would invest in weight loss options.
Almost half (45%) of the adults surveyed claimed a smile could defy aging. Eyes (34%), body shape (10%), hair (6%), and legs (5%) were the other areas of the body mentioned after teeth.
American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry president Dr. Ron Goodlin commented that "a great smile is always in style, and these results prove it". Over half of the adults over 50 claim a smile can overcome decades of birthdays, making the investment in a beautiful smile more worth it.
These results came from a survey questioning American adult's attitudes on aging and beauty in observance of Healthy Aging Month that takes place in September. It was conducted on a sample of 1,018 nationally representative Americans ages 18 and over.
