Baby Boomer Smile – The Finishing Touch

It’s Time To Love Your Smile

  • Dr. Garcia
  • December 2, 2016

The Baby BoomerSmiling middle-aged couple showcasing youthful smiles, representing the Baby Boomer generation, with a beach backdrop.ย is a generation like no other. In addition to growing up in the tumultuous sixties and seventies, they were the first to experience the full benefit of modern medicine, changing attitudes about nutrition and exercise, and the advent of plastic surgery.

As a result, they have been able to maintain a youthful appearance far longer than any other group (at least most of them have!). However, there is a part of the Fountain of Youth that many of the baby boomer generation may be overlooking—their smiles.

Orthodontics have been around in some form for the better part of a hundred years, but the braces of the sixties and seventies were more costly and available to fewer people than they are today. As a result, many people who grew up in those days may not have the straightest teeth. It is a shame that folks who are otherwise able to look so youngโ€ฆ for so longโ€ฆ are missing a piece of the puzzle.

With all the effort put towards eating right, staying fit, and otherwise taking care of themselves, there is no reason why boomers should not look into having beautiful teeth! There are many benefits to getting braces at any age at Garcia Orthodontics. Everyone wants a straight and gorgeous smile and the positives do not stop with appearance. When teeth are crowded or badly positioned, it can lead to serious problems in the future. A poor bite can affect the function of the teeth and can even lead to tooth loss and gum disease.

So don’t wait any longer for the smile you deserve! There is no better time than the present to schedule a complimentary exam with Garcia Orthodontics. We can check out your teeth and bite and make recommendations for improvement. There are many new treatment options available to reduce treatment time and discomfort. Invisalign โ€ฆ the โ€œBracelessโ€ alternative to straighter teeth is for those who are self-conscious about wearing braces. Find out for yourself which option best suites your needs.

If you think braces are only for kids, it may be comforting to know that one in four orthodontic patients today are adults. You are in good company! Get that perfect finishing touch—a smile that matches the rest of you! Contact our office today for a complimentary orthodontic consultation. We look forward to making you smile.

monika S.
Shirley did my cleaning and I’m so happy with the results! She was incredibly gentle (I was literally falling asleep) but still did such a thorough job. My teeth feel so clean, and my mouth feels super refreshed. She removed all the buildup I had without any discomfort. This is your sign to book your cleaning with Shirley!
Response from the owner:Thank you very much for your kind words, Monika. We really appreciate it, and we are happy that your orthodontic journey is happening exactly the way you expected it. We thrive by treating our patients with tender loving care, making sure their needs are understood, and that their treatment comes out to exactly what they expect it to be. We wish you a good weekend.

Adrian T.
Everyone at Garcia orthodontics is extremely friendly and professional, I feel like I’m in the right hands when I’m there. All the staff are always very helpful and pleasant making you feel like part of the family. Maylin is awesome, always sweet and she felt like my big sister throughout the process of getting my braces. I was recently seen by Angela who is extremely gracious and caring, her attention to detail and gentle attitude made sure everything went smoothly, she deserves outstanding recognition. I would recommend this place without hesitation to anyone.
Mia Isabella T.
I’ve been going to Garcias Orthodontics for 5 years already. They are the most sweetest people ever. They are very patient with you like if your teeth start hurting they’ll ask if its hurts and they’ll stop. I recommend Johnathan he’s very sweet, patient with you 10/10. I recommend coming to this orthodontics trust me you won’t regret it.
