Kingsport, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/28/2016 -- Dr. Leighton Wood, a highly reputed orthodontist, is encouraging his patients to improve their smile by offering them a free orthodontic exam and consultation.

Dr. Wood's gift includes the necessary x-rays required for the full orthodontic examination, as well as personalized advice on what treatment options are most suitable for each patient in dealing with crooked teeth and other dental issues.

For over 20 years, Dr. Wood has been creating healthy smiles for the young and old. According to the orthodontist, a lot of people have misconceptions about orthodontic treatment that compromise their oral health.

"For too many people, having crooked teeth is a simple matter of cosmetics. What they don't realize is that this often results in additional dental problems that can affect other parts of the body over time," he warned.

Additionally, many adults assume that orthodontic treatment has to involve wearing unsightly metal braces. Dr. Wood disagrees:

"Technological advancement has made it possible to straighten your teeth using clear braces; no one will know that you have them on unless you tell them," he pointed out.

Dr. Wood helps bring confidence back to local teens and adults through improving the health and quality of their smiles.

At the same time, Dr. Leighton Wood is helping local animal shelter by donating $50 for each new patient who starts treatment. In this way, locals get to participate in a worthy cause while getting the opportunity to straighten their teeth.

A growing number of people are unable to keep their pets as a result of financial constraints due to the economic challenges experienced nationally in the recent past. Many of these people have to surrender their pets to animal shelters that are already struggling to remain operational.

Additionally, a lot of these animals are either ill or injured, and are therefore in need of specialized care that usually comes at a high cost.

"Pets bring a lot of joy to their owners, so I think it's only fair that we take care of those animals that cannot get the much needed care they need. It's a community effort in which we should all participate," he said.

Dr. wood and staff provide relief to local animal shelter, while still servicing local with orthodontics.

Orthodontist Dr. Leighton Wood announces a program to help locals in Virginia and Tennessee to have a healthy smile while supporting local animal shelters at the same time. For more information visit http://orthodontisttn.com/free-orthodontic-exam-consultation/

Kingsport, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2016 -- Orthodontist Dr. Leighton Wood is announcing a campaign to encourage his patients and locals in the Kingsport and Johnson City areas of Tennessee as well as those in Bristol Virginia to improve their smile and to support local animal shelters at the same time.

In recent interview, Dr. Wood explains that as a result of economic challenges that have been experienced in the country, more people are unable to keep their pets due to financial constraints. Many of them end up giving up their pets to animal shelters, whose resources are in most cases already stretched.

To add to this challenge, a lot of the animals these shelters receive are either sick or injured, requiring specialized help that demands even more finances.

Dr. Wood and his staff will be giving away orthodontic exams for free. This gift comprises a full orthodontic examination, including necessary X-rays. Dr. Wood will also offer advice on the most suitable orthodontic treatment and what patients can do to prevent other straight teeth from becoming crooked. If the participants continue with a treatment plan, Dr. Wood will donate $50 per person to local animal shelters. Locals can get the chance to get healthy straight teeth while contributing to a good cause.

"I think this is a great opportunity to mobilize our people to enhance their oral health while at the same time offering the much needed help that our local animal shelters require," he said.

For over 20 years, Dr. Wood has been creating healthy smiles for the young and old. He is concerned about the many misconceptions that people have about crooked teeth and orthodontic treatment.

"Many people assume that crooked teeth are simply a cosmetic problem, but this is not true. If not treated, they can quickly lead to other dental and health problems – even speech problems," he warned.

Many adults also shy away from orthodontic treatment because they assume that they will have to wear ugly metallic braces, but as Dr. Wood points out, "Thanks to technological advancement, we can now straighten teeth using clear braces – nobody has to know you're wearing them unless you actually tell them."

Dr. Wood helps bring confidence back to local teens and adults through improving the health and quality of their smiles.
