Howell Orthodontics’ 5th Give A Grin recipient is Harper Hodge For The Paper
Dr. Emily Howell, orthodontist and owner of Howell Orthodontics in Jefferson, sees many children who cannot start orthodontic treatment due to financial restraints. Unfortunately, many of these patients truly need braces. Although Dr. Howell cannot give free treatment to every child who presents with this issue, Dr. Howell designed an annual program to give one deserving middle school student in Jackson County a full set of braces at no charge. This year marks the fifth year that Howell Orthodontics has given a student this great opportunity to change their smile and maybe even their life. Middle school counselors in Jackson County nominated students from their respective schools who they felt qualified for this award based on orthodontic need and personal commitment. A Give A Grin board made up of several community leaders spend several hours each year reviewing close-up pictures of students’ teeth as well as handwritten essays on how having braces would change the lives of
these students for the better. Once selected, the Give A Grin winner has to prove that he/she can take proper care of their braces by coming for follow-up oral hygiene checks in Dr. Howell’s office prior to getting braces. Dr. Howell and her staff proudly congratulate this year’s Give A Grin Award recipient, Harper Hodge. They are pleased to report that Harper has taken this opportunity and responsibility very seriously, has kept her teeth very clean, and recently received her braces She and her family are very grateful, to say the least. If you know of a local middle school student who may be in need of braces but simply cannot afford treatment, contact your middle school counselor to possibly enter them into next year’s Give A Grin selection process at Howell Orthodontics. Call 706-387-0606 if you have any questions or need orthodontic care. Dr. Howell and her staff say they are thankful for the support they have received and continue to receive from the Jackson County community and will proudly give back all that they can in return.
