Dear Smile For A Lifetime,
Thank you for giving me my braces! Dr.Storms and his team worked very hard to make sure everything was perfect. Now that I have braces, I smile with my teeth showing instead of closed lipped smiles. The other 2 girls who participated also seemed very happy, as was I. Thank you so much and I appreciate what you did.
Thanks again!

He has a great personality and an amazing sense of humor, but doesn’t always smile to the fullest due to his teeth.” Hunter tells us, ”I was excited and relieved. Even though teeth seem like a small thing in life, it can really effect how someone feels about themselves.”
