A SMILE STORY
As a child who was teased for her crooked smile, Lisa Fulks decided to straighten her teeth as a young adult with Orthodontic Associates. Her straight, beautiful smile was well worth it and gave her the boost in confidence she needed to take more risks in life.
“I decided to get orthodontic treatment because I was worried I would lose my teeth early due to difficulty brushing my overcrowded teeth. I also had uncomfortable TMD symptoms that pushed me to seek help from an orthodontist,” said Lisa.
After completing her treatment plan, Lisa gained more than just a healthy smile. “Before treatment I had zero confidence. I never smiled and so people were reluctant to approach or hire me. My self-esteem was terrible. I was terrified to get to know new people, because I was teased all through school for my crooked teeth,” said Lisa. “Not only do I smile in pictures now, but I give a great big cheesy grin. Because I feel more confident, I go out more and take more risks in the adult world. Now I’m very outgoing and love meeting and talking with people I’ve never meet. I’ve had many more jobs, and am now going back to school. My confidence is back.”
What’s phase I orthodontic treatment?
Phase 1 treatment (braces or Invisalign) is for kids who are still in the early stages of having a mix of baby and adult teeth. This usually occurs between age 6-9. The goal of phase I treatment is to develop kid’s jaws and/or teeth to make room for existing teeth and incoming permanent teeth. 🦷

Caught a teaching moment with Dr. Archer and little sister. At Orthodontic Associates, we start seeing kids as young as 7 to check on the growth and development of their smile. With our expertise, technology, and additional years of schooling, our doctors can determine when a child might need orthodontic treatment, if they need early intervention, and what teeth might be visiting the tooth fairy soon! These appointments are FREE, comfortable, and your child gets a prize just for visiting us!
