ARCH Orthodontics Marks 5th Year as Official Orthodontist of Miss Massachusetts

For the 5th consecutive year, ARCH Orthodontics is the Official Orthodontist of Miss Massachusetts and a supporter of its Scholarship Foundation. (http://missmassachusetts.tripod.com/index.html)

Lauren Kuhn, 2014 Miss Massachusetts, has a close connection to the dental world. She’s a member of Harvard School of Dental Medicine’s Class of 2017. In the 2015 Miss America Pageant on national TV, Lauren was a Top 5 Finalist, recognized for her virtuoso piano-playing.

ARCH’s Dr. Andrew Chase says, “We share common values and a philosophy with the Miss Massachusetts program: to strive for excellence and to do our part to improve the community. We believe life is full of things to smile about and that Orthodontic treatment is an investment in that smile which will reap benefits for a lifetime. We know that a healthy and attractive smile always creates a better impression.”

“As a third year Doctor of Dental Medicine candidate,” Lauren says, “I see that proper flossing and brushing are two of the most important preventative measures a person can take to maintain their oral health. For those with crowding, malocclusion, or other Orthodontic issues, these simple tasks can be more difficult. In addition to helping avoid sensitivity and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain from malocclusion, Orthodontics also helps people succeed because they are more likely to be confident in their smile and generally, more confident in themselves.”

Lauren adds, “Orthodontics is an option for both children and adults and an Orthodontic consult can help people of any age determine whether treatment is right for them. Three of my grandparents had braces past the age of 40 and they are still grateful for their results today. I want to say thank you to ARCH Orthodontics for helping me make adjustments to my bite and alignment of my teeth. The proper positioning of teeth and a comfortable bite can make such a big difference in quality of life!”

Dr. Robert Chavez says. “ARCH annually supports the non-profit Miss Mass. Scholarship Foundation because of its dedication to helping young women recognize their potential.” Five years ago, ARCH became the first Miss Massachusetts Orthodontic sponsor in the organization’s history. The new Miss Mass. will be chosen in late June in Worcester.

ARCH Orthodontics has 9 offices south of Boston and on Cape Cod. As part of its 40th anniversary celebration, ARCH is offering free consultations for all ages – a $500 value – and no-interest financing. ARCH is also offering a courtesy discount to those currently serving in the military, veterans and members of their immediate families. A similar offer is extended to municipal employees in the towns where ARCH has offices and their immediate families.
