免費Invisalign 隱適美治療,送給最需要的人!

Dr. John C. Li DDS (ppdc.ca) 與 Invisalign 的新慈善計劃合作!

11 月 13 日世界仁慈日 : 隨機善舉 (ARK) 義診活動

免費Invisalign 隱適美治療 送給最需要的人!

Dr. John Li 多年來支持許多慈善組織, 如「加拿大微笑行動」, 並對特殊需要兒童提供義診服務。 Invisalign 已同意為患有先天性顱顏畸形和遺傳疾病的人提供免費的隱形矯治器治療。

通過“Pay it forward,  不求回報, 讓愛傳開去”模式,Align Technology 為 Dr. John C. Li 提供支持,免除 Invisalign 隱適美治療的完整綜合療程的費用,以便他們能夠免費為口腔困難患者提供治療健康或面部挑戰。

Dr. John Li:“我們很高興能主動為有兔唇裂顎與顱顏缺陷問題的患者機會治療,創造新的美麗笑容。”

符合條件的患者是那些有健康問題的患者,例如遺傳綜合徵、兔唇裂顎、顱面或裂隙,或其他與健康相關的固定器具治療禁忌症。

Align Technology 歐洲、中東和非洲地區總經理 Angelo Maura 表示:“牙齒健康作為我們整體健康和福祉的重要組成部分,經常被忽視。在該地區各國政府努力實現其雄心勃勃的未來願景的同時,我們相信我們也有責任在衛生部門內支持這些目標,與牙科專業人士合作,更好地為患者服務,並在我們所服務的社區內產生有意義的影響。 ”

“我們的社會責任計劃 ARK 的目標是為最需要的人提供更廣泛的口腔健康服務。因此,我們非常自豪能夠讓我們的 Invisalign 醫生有機會免費幫助他們的患者獲得更健康的笑容。憑藉我們 Invisalign 隱適美醫生的專業知識……,我們致力於支持一個將每個人的口腔健康都放在首位的未來,不僅僅是在世界仁慈日,而是每一天。”安傑洛繼續說道。

ARK 計劃不適用於已經開始使用 Invisalign 系統進行治療的患者。 ARK 計劃申請必須在每個日曆月的第一天提交,並且將在三十 (30) 天內做出是否接受此類申請的決定。

Dr. John Li與Align Technology一起致力於企業社會責任。公司的努力主要集中在慈善事業上,例如與微笑行動和其他慈善基金會的長期合作,也包括可持續發展舉措。

隨機善舉 (ARK) 計劃旨在通過為患有身體和認知障礙的患者提供免費的 Invisalign® 治療來識別他們。

誰能從中受益?

        許多患有顱面問題、遺傳綜合徵或其他健康問題的兒童和青少年在獲得更直率的笑容方面的選擇有限。好消息是 Invisalign 隱形矯正器可能會有所幫助。

*符合條件的患者是有健康問題的患者,例如遺傳綜合徵、顱面或裂隙、固定矯治器治療的健康相關禁忌症或固定矯治器治療的其他禁忌症。

什麼是顱面畸形?

     顱面畸形 (CFA) 是一組高度多樣化的複雜先天性畸形。它們共同影響著世界上很大一部分地區。例如,唇裂和/或腭裂大約每 500-700 例新生兒中就有 1 例發生,該比例在不同地理區域或種族群體之間差異很大。

          雖然這不是一個詳盡的列表,但以下是可能影響牙齒和頜骨的最常見情況:

唇齶裂綜合徵
特雷徹柯林斯綜合症
米勒綜合症
半面小兒
顱縫早閉
克魯宗綜合徵
阿佩特綜合徵
菲佛綜合症
外胚層發育不良
皮埃爾羅賓綜合症
斯蒂克勒綜合徵
顱骨發育不良

這些異常在出生時就存在(先天性),並且存在許多差異。有些是輕微的,有些是嚴重的,需要手術。一些顱面異常與身體其他部位的異常有關,這可能很嚴重。

如果您認識可能會從這項慈善行動中受益的人,請將此消息轉發給他們。

  • 我們可能有辦法讓您的朋友笑得更燦爛。
  • 根據他們的情況,透明矯治器治療是一個很好的選擇

考慮:

o 矯治器易於拆卸且佩戴舒適
o 沒有食物限制
o 無摩擦支架或戳線
o 照常刷牙和使用牙線
o 有特定的 Invisalign 隱形矯治器產品旨在滿足日益增長的微笑需求

申請截止日期為 2023-12-01。

請立即聯繫我們進行必要的篩選預約和申請。

Acts of Random Kindness: ppdc.ca ‘s charitable campaign aims to grant Free Invisalign treatments to patients with oral challenges

Free Invisalign Treatment for those who needed it most!

 

Dr. John C. Li DDS (ppdc.ca) in collaboration with Invisalign’s new charitable program!
Acts of Random Kindness (ARK) following World Kindness Day, on 13th November

Dr. John Li has over the years supported many charitable organizations, including Operation Smile Canada. We feel elated to announce that Dr. John Li is extending his service for special needs children. Invisalign has agreed to provide FREE clear aligner treatment for people with craniofacial anomalies and genetic disorders.

Through a ‘pay it forward’ model, Align Technology is offering support to Dr. John C. Li by waiving the lab fees for a full comprehensive course of Invisalign treatment in order to enable them to deliver treatment free of charge to patients with difficult oral health or maxiofacial challenges.

Dr. John Li:  “We are delighted to take the initiative to have the opportunity to treat patients with oral challenges and create new, beautiful smiles.” 

Eligible patients are those with health issues such as genetic syndromes, craniofacial or clefts, or other health-related contraindications to fixed appliance treatments.

Angelo Maura, General Manager, EMEA of Align Technology, said: “Dental health is often overlooked as an essential part of our overall health and well-being. While governments across the region work towards achieving their ambitious visions of the future, we believe we too have a duty to support these goals within the health sector, to work with dental professionals to serve patients better and create meaningful impact within the communities we serve.”

“The objective of our social responsibility programme, ARK, is to provide more widespread access to better oral health to those who need it most. With that, we are very proud to be in a position to give our Invisalign doctors the opportunity to help their patients attain a healthier smile, free of charge. Together, with the expertise of our Invisalign doctors…, we are committed to supporting a future where each and every person’s oral health is prioritized, not just on World Kindness Day, but every day.” Angelo continued.

The ARK programme does not apply to patients who have already started treatment with the Invisalign system. The ARK programme applications must be submitted by the first of each calendar month and a decision will be given within thirty (30) days as to whether such application will be accepted. 

Dr. John Li, together with Align Technology, is committed to corporate social responsibility. The company’s efforts are primarily focused on philanthropy, such as long-term cooperation with Operation Smile and other charitable foundations, and also include sustainability initiatives.

Acts of Random Kindness (ARK) Program aims to recognize patients with physical and cognitive disabilities by offering them a free-of-charge Invisalign® treatment.

Who can benefit from?

         Many children and teens with craniofacial issues, genetic syndromes, or other health conditions have had limited options to achieve a straighter smile. The good news is that Invisalign clear aligners may be able to help.

*Eligible patients are patients with health issues such as genetic syndromes, craniofacial or clefts, health related contraindications to fixed appliance treatment or other contraindications to fixed appliance treatments.

What are Craniofacial Anomalies?

     Craniofacial anomalies (CFA) are a highly diverse group of complex congenital anomalies. Collectively, they affect a significant proportion of the world. Cleft lip and/or palate, for example, occurs in approximately 1 per 500-700 births, the ratio varying considerably across geographic areas or ethnic groupings.


          Although this is not an exhaustive list, the following are the most common conditions that can affect teeth and the jaws:

  • Cleft lip and palate syndrome
  • Treacher Collins syndrome
  • Miller syndrome
  • Hemifacial Microsomia 
  • Craniosynostosis
  • Crouzon syndrome
  • Apert syndrome
  • Pfeiffer syndrome
  • Ectodermal Dysplasia
  • Pierre Robin syndrome
  • Stickler syndrome
  • Cleidocranial Dysplasia

These abnormalities are present at birth (congenital) and there are numerous variations. Some are mild and some are severe and need surgery. Some craniofacial anomalies are associated with anomalies elsewhere in the body, which can be serious.


If you know someone who might be benefited from this charitable act, please forward this message out to them.

  • There may be a way that we can give your friend a straighter smile.
  • With their condition, clear aligner treatment is a strong option to consider:
    o The aligners are easily removable and comfortable
    o No food restrictions
    o  No rubbing brackets or poking wires
    o  Brush and floss as usual
    o There are specific Invisalign clear aligner products designed to meet the needs of growing smiles

The deadline for application is 2023-12-01.
Please contact us immediately for the necessary screening appointment and application. Can

想小朋友舒服地箍齊掤牙?

When should your kid starts orthodontics? 最佳牙齒矯正年齡是何時、有年齡限制嗎?

幾歲矯正牙齒比較好?

關於幾歲矯正牙齒比較好的問題,我們可以先從青少年的牙齒生長過程說起。自小孩誕生開始起,大約6-8個月就會開始長牙,直到2歲半至3歲,會長期20顆乳牙;約6-7歲起小孩就會開始換牙,直至12-13歲逐漸被恆牙取代,也就是說大約12-13歲時,小孩的乳牙會全部換完。

從牙齒矯正的角度來看,大約在12-13歲恆牙完全換完時,會是最好的牙齒矯正時機。在年紀還小時,因為此時還處在生長發育的階段,若在此時進行矯正牙齒、齒列的移動,需要的時間比較短,同時矯正的成效也比較好,所以才會說小孩牙齒矯正比較好。

關於幾歲矯正牙齒比較好,我們可以這樣說:在小孩乳牙完全換成恆牙後,若有進行牙齒矯正的計畫,此時就可以開始進行矯正。這樣不僅矯正效果好、套上矯正器的時間也比較短。
