INVISALIGN® Ugly Sweater Parties A FUN TREND YOU CAN EASILY FOLLOW! A Straighter Smile in No Time

It's speculated that the first ugly sweater party took place in Vancouver, Canada, back in 2001. Since then, the trend has become one of the most popular holiday party themes. Come Thanksgiving, you’ll start to see racks in all types of clothing stores lined with hideous sweaters. If you’re ready to jump on the ugly-sweater- party bandwagon this Christmas season, here a few things to keep in mind. Your Very Own Ugly Sweater Ugly sweaters come in all shapes, sizes, and prices. You can head to H&M or a local thrift store to pick one up. However, if you have a sweater that’s been cozied up for years in the back of your closet or a drawer, now’s your chance to give it new life. Arm yourself with a hot glue gun, thread, and needle, and patch Santa, Rudolph, or Frosty on it. And let it be known that an ugly sweater isn’t complete without sparkles, beads, and sequins galore. What Exactly Is an Ugly Sweater Party? It's rather simple — slip on your favorite Christmas sweater, gather all your friends and family members, make sure there are plenty of refreshments and games, and you’re guaranteed to have a top-tier party. A few ugly- sweater-themed games that should be on the agenda include an ugly gift exchange, which is similar to the white elephant exchange, except with the gaudiest gifts you can find; an ugly photo booth, complete with terrible, tacky props; and, of course, an ugly sweater contest. This is the only time of year when slipping into a lurid bright red sweater with a stuffed Santa sewn on the front is considered trendy. So adorn yourself in the frumpiest, tackiest sweater you can find, and have some fun this December!

Having lopsided teeth can cause a person’s confidence to drop. Often, these individuals are self-conscious and uncomfortable smiling in everyday situations. For many adults, just the thought of getting braces makes them abandon their dream of having straighter teeth. Adults want straighter smiles without drawing more attention to their mouth in the process. But straightening your teeth doesn’t have to involve unattractive metal brackets and wires. This is why many adults are turning to Invisalign to discreetly and effectively straighten their teeth. What Is Invisalign? Invisalign is a healthy alternative to traditional adult braces and is much less obtrusive. No one here in Saint Augustine will know that you’re straightening your teeth unless you want them to. Using a series of clear, custom-made aligners to fit perfectly on your teeth, a gentle force is applied to move them into place. You’ll receive a new set of aligners about every two weeks as your teeth slowly move into their ideal spots. Unlike braces, you can remove Invisalign for meals or to brush your teeth and before using a mouthguard for your sports-team practice. They can also be removed for regular cleaning. Treatments You don’t have to spend years getting the straight teeth you want. Treatment for Invisalign usually lasts about eight months depending on the individual seeking treatment. If you’re looking for a picture-perfect smile sooner, Elite Smiles also offers a six-month treatment. This method takes traditional orthodontics to a new level using discreetly colored wires and brackets for a quick, effective, and subtle treatment. No matter whether you choose to get Invisalign or clear braces, you can quickly and easily gain the confident smile you desire and deserve. Elite Smiles is offering Invisalign treatments for zero down with payments of $99 a month (credit pending) for all of our interested patients.
