"Braces Are For Everyone"

“I have long regretted not getting braces when I was a teenager. For many years, I have been hiding my smile or smiling with my mouth shut. Now, I am in my thirties and I thought that I was too old for braces. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Jacobson, so I decided to stop by Mid-Wilshire Dental Care and talk to them about my dental options. Can you believe it? Many of their orthodontic patients are older than I am. I decided to give it a try and it didn’t disappoint. I got my braces removed about three months ago and I can’t stop smiling. No matter how old you are - give Dr. Jacobson a call. Braces are for everyone!”
