aligners is custom-made to fi t the patient’s teeth comfortably while gently guiding the
teeth into their ideal position Dr. Lichter recommends Invisalign® for patients who want to discreetly improve the
appearance of their smile and function of their bite.

Wellness
The interactions between generations can benefi t both young people and their aging relatives.
Different generations
gain new prospectives
sharing time together
In the not-so-distant past, extended
families frequently lived in close
proximity to one another. Such
families shared meals and experiences,
and essentially grew up together.
Nowadays, families separate
for various reasons, such as job opportunities
and cost-of-living concerns.
While there are advantages to
spreading out, there are also some
disadvantages, namely that grandparents
and grandchildren may not
see one another frequently enough.
Even though people of different age
groups may not entirely have the
same interests, the interactions between
generations can benefi t both
young people and their aging relatives.
Finding renewed vigor
Senior living and active lifestyle
communities provide invaluable care
and amenities for seniors. While being
around like-minded individuals
can be handy, it’s also limiting.
Seniors who continue to age in
place in mixed-age communities can
extract joy from watching youthful
children and young adults growing
up, playing, and socializing. Being
around multiple generations also can
spark interesting conversation, and
all parties involved can learn something
from one another.
Planning for the future
Younger generations may not understand
the concept of “hard times”
or “doing without” like a person who
has lived through various ups and
downs. Passing along advice about
economic cycles, saving for the future
and maintaining stability is one
area of expertise at which many seniors
excel.
Practicing interpersonal
skills
All the technological savviness in
the world cannot compensate for the
power of strong interpersonal skills.
Being able to address a group of people
or speak one-on-one is essential in the
workplace and in life. When younger
generations speak to older adults, they
may become stronger at verbal discourse
and have greater perspective of
different points of conversation.
Learning new technology
Younger generations can impart
knowledge of technological devices
to older adults. People with skills are
usually happy to share their knowledge.
Even if seniors aren’t ready to
purchase tablets or smartphones,
they may be excited to have their
grandchildren teach them about the
latest gadgets.
Providing a sense of
purpose
Both seniors and younger generations
can realize a greater sense of
purpose when interacting with one
another. That person may be the reason
the other one greets the day with
a smile. Visits from grandchildren
can reduce the liklihood of isolation
and depression in older adults. And
younger generations can discover the
benefi ts of personal social interaction
rather than communicating exclusively
through social media apps.
Fostering intergenerational connections
is a great way to broaden
social circles, improve communication,
and learn new things.
