Orthodontic Outreach60 Great Smiles for 60 Amazing Years of Orthodontic Community ServiceRichard Kulbersh, DDS, MSChair, Department of OrthodonticsThe Orthodontic Department of the University of Detroit Mercy School ofDentistry (UDMSD) sponsored the first ever screening for free braces onFriday, June 19, 2009. This day, 60 Great Smiles for 60 Amazing Years ofOrthodontic Community Service, was developed to offer an opportunityfor 60 Medicaid eligible children ages 9-16 years, with the severest malocclusions,to have free orthodontic care. Such a program has never beenoffered by any dental school in Michigan, or probably in the United States.Assisting with the event were two partners: Covenant Community CareDental Center and Henry Ford School-Based and Community Programs.On Friday June 19, 2009, more than 1400 people queued up around theschool. The first 500 children in line were screened for free braces. Anorthodontic exam, a visual decay assessment and bitewing x-rays as wellas a medical history and financial qualification interview were performed.Patients were registered in the UDMSD and Covenant data bases andtheir parents advised to return on June 26 for the dental exam completion,a cleaning and fluoride. In the interval between visits, all patientswere rank ordered by malocclusion severity so that after the final decayassessment on June 26th, 60 children could be chosen to participate inthe free braces program. All examinees selected for free orthodontic carewere notified by phone in early July.Left: Dr. Samuel Wise takes photoswith the assistance of Dr. JeffreyJamieson.The event was a huge success. The reputation and name recognition ofUDMSD and its Orthodontic Department was significantly enhanced.Prospective patients were greatly impressed, not only with our facilities,but more importantly with the concern and kindness shown them. Thehallmark of the day was the development of very special patient, facultyand staff interaction. As a spin off, the school also benefited by enhancingtheir cooperative efforts with our two partners: Covenant Community CareDental Center and Henry Ford School-Based and Community Programs.This is just the beginning of what can possibly be a unique orthodonticcare delivery program in Michigan. We hope that other organizationswill join in and help with the funding, not only for this program, but alsosimilar future efforts.18 The Leading Edge | Summer 2009
