What is a real smile? A real smile is
unguarded, shows no self-consciousness and involves the whole face;
the eyes, the cheeks, and the teeth, not just an upturned mouth.
The smile beams with joy and lights up the whole face.
On World Smile Day, Align Technology will initiate a global
photo sharing wave of activity by asking all of its Invisalign®
fans and followers on social media channels around the world to
take a selfie or find an existing photo of themselves giving a real
smile and share it on their Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram
profile. The campaign will also encourage social media users to
nominate a friend to do the same. Every public share of a photo of
a person’s real smile on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram with
#RealSmile will trigger a US$1 donation by Align Technology. The
Company will work with Operation Smile and Invisalign ambassadors
and regional stakeholders to encourage their communities of
followers to join with them in the campaign.
The #RealSmile campaign aims to help children smile around the
world by raising awareness and generating interest and money for
Operation Smile. Operation Smile provides free surgeries to repair
cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities for children
worldwide who would never be able to smile freely without their
help.
