General Discussion

I’ve been following Matt Fitzpatrick’s career for a while now, and I can’t help but notice the buzz around his decision to get braces. As a professional golfer, his image is undoubtedly crucial for his brand, but it raises some intriguing questions!

Why Did He Choose to Get Braces?
Did he feel that it was necessary for his confidence on the course? Or was it more about maintaining his public appearance? Also, have any of you experienced similar situations where dental work impacted your game or image?

How Do Other Pros Manage Their Appearance?
It’s interesting to think about how other golfers manage their appearances. I remember seeing some discussing routines that included everything from haircuts to dental care.

I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this. How important is it for golfers, or athletes in general, to maintain their image? Anyone with advice or similar experiences to share?

I love Matt Fitzpatrick’s smile! It really highlights the importance of dental health. I’ve started using an electric toothbrush and it makes a huge difference in my cleaning routine.

Absolutely! I switched to an electric toothbrush too, and I noticed my gums feel healthier! Can’t believe I waited so long to make the switch.

Braces can definitely improve your smile, just like they did for Matt. Regular dental check-ups are crucial. My dentist also recommended fluoride treatments, and they’ve helped a lot.

Oh, I didn’t know about fluoride treatments! I only go to the dentist twice a year. Is that enough or do you think I should go more often? Asking for a friend…

6

I totally agree! Plus, I love when they do the cleaning; I always leave feeling like I have a new smile! Any special products you all recommend?

I use a whitening toothpaste and mouthwash to enhance my smile, inspired by some golfers’ bright teeth! Anyone else use whitening products? What works best?

I’ve found charcoal toothpaste to be interesting, but not sure if it’s effective. Anyone with experience on it?

Charcoal toothpaste? That’s brave! I stick to regular whitening products, but I’m curious too. I’ve heard mixed reviews about charcoal—not sure it’s for me.

I think maintaining a routine is key! Brushing twice a day, flossing, and rinsing—my grandma always said that. Perhaps I should also start using a mouthwash regularly.

Gold star for grandma! I added mouthwash to my routine and noticed it freshens my breath immediately, but is it really that effective?

I think so! Mouthwash can help fight bacteria and improve gum health. Just make sure it has the ADA seal of approval. That said, nothing beats good old brushing and flossing.

I’m still stuck on finding a good floss. Does quality matter? Sometimes it feels like they just break apart! Anyone else face this struggle?

Haha, yes! Floss has been my nemesis too. I found that waxed floss works better for me. Just a tip for anyone who’s struggling!

I’ve been curious about Matt Fitzpatrick’s teeth too! I’ve heard that he had some impressive orthodontic work done. What treatments do you think are best for a smile like that?

You’re not alone! I read that he had braces, but now many pros use clear aligners. Has anyone tried those instead?

17

Yes! I think braces can be great for more serious issues. I had braces for two years and my smile transformed. Aligners were just coming into trend when I got mine.

18

That’s awesome to hear! Did you feel they were worth the time and money, especially in comparison to aligners?

Definitely! They were worth every minute. I guess it depends on how your teeth respond. I’ve also seen good results from some people who went for cosmetic veneers instead.

That’s true! Cosmetic procedures can yield fast results. Has anyone explored that option?
