Celebrate Orthodontic Health Month in Miami with a Smile

It’s Time To Love Your Smile

  • Dr. Garcia
  • October 5, 2017

October National Orthodontic Health Month graphic featuring a smiling jack-o'-lantern, emphasizing the celebration of orthodontic health.Did you know that October is National Orthodontic Health Month? Garcia Orthodontics want you to join us in celebrating the power of a smile during October.

You only get one chance to make a first impression, no matter what your age 12, 16 or 60! A perfect smile is one of your best and lifelong assets. Whether you are meeting new friends or interviewing for a job, a smile is important to building both personal and business relationships. It is a well-known fact that straight teeth and a great smile builds self-esteem, confidence, and influences how you present yourself to the world. Orthodontic treatment is an investment in the future.

Our goal this year is to spread the word in the Miami area that October is National Orthodontic Health Month and its purpose is to reinforce the need for an orthodontic evaluation. You are never too young or too old if your bite or smile needs correction.

What is the Best Time to Evaluate Your Child?

The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that parents have their kids evaluated for orthodontic treatment by age 7. Children undergo a major growth spurt during the ages of 7 – 10 that goes hand in hand with the eruptive pattern of their teeth and development of jaws. Starting at the right time, based on your child’s individual growth pattern, can prevent more long-term or difficult treatment later on. Potential problems can be addressed if they are found at the appropriate time.
.

Adult Orthodontics Is On The Rise

We all know the job market is tight, especially for recent college graduates. First impressions are everything and serious job hunters are “Bracing Themselves for the Future” to promote their success. Your smile during the interview process, no matter what your age, makes a difference when landing a new job. It also helps you perform better throughout your life to boost your confidence when communicating with others on all levels, both professionally and personally. Currently, more than one million patients in North America are receiving adult orthodontic treatment from orthodontists.

Garcia Orthodontics offers the latest in treatment options for adults orthodontics, including Invisalign, the , the “braceless alternative” to straight teeth.

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.
