Our doctors will be donating their time and necessary materials to provide orthodontic treatment for up to six patients per year.

the importance of orthodontic treatment

Orthodontic problems such as misaligned teeth, difficulty chewing, or bite discrepancy should be taken seriously. If left untreated, they could cause health issues like tooth decay, gum disease, abnormal wearing of tooth enamel, etc.

Orthodontic treatment can:

  • Ensure proper function of teeth
  • Create a healthy, attractive smile and facial structure
  • Maintain a good bite making it easier to chew and speak
  • Avoid tooth decay/loss by making them easier to clean

“Thank you so much for providing me with the opportunity to get braces. My teeth have been my biggest insecurity for most of my life up until this point and I’m excited to be able to have confidence in my smile in the pretty near future as I enter into the professional workforce in the near future. Your contribution has truly impacted my life and for that I am so very grateful.”
