Artemis Smiles Orthodontics Atlanta Launches Free Early Orthodontic Screening Program for Kids -- Featuring Tito, Their Beloved Therapy Dog
ATLANTA, Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Artemis Smiles Orthodontics Atlanta, a family-focused, female-owned orthodontic practice led by Dr. Bennie Yavari, has launched a Free Early Orthodontic Screening Program for children across Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Chastain, East Cobb, Chamblee, Marietta, and surrounding Atlanta neighborhoods. The program helps families identify early orthodontic concerns before they become more complex or costly to treat.
The practice is known for its warm, child-friendly atmosphere, supported by Tito, a gentle 1.5-year-old Aussie Doodle therapy dog and official "Smile Ambassador." Tito comforts young patients, reduces anxiety, and helps make early orthodontic visits enjoyable.
The Free Early Screening Program includes:
- Orthodontic evaluation recommended at age 7 (per AAO), with free screenings offered for ages 6–10
- Bite, jaw alignment, and growth assessments
- Airway and oral habit evaluation
- Digital scans when recommended
- Parent education and personalized treatment timeline
- A comfort visit with Tito the therapy dog
Dr. Bennie specializes in diagnosing and treating early orthodontic conditions including buck teeth (overjet), underbite, overbite, crowding, spacing, crossbite, narrow palate, breathing-related orthodontic issues, and jaw growth discrepancies. Identifying these conditions early supports healthier development and more effective long-term outcomes.
This initiative aligns with the American Association of Orthodontists' guidance, which recommends a child's first orthodontic evaluation at age seven.
Artemis Smiles Orthodontics Atlanta is deeply involved with local schools and family communities. The practice has supported and contributed to numerous school events, wellness programs, and educational initiatives across the Atlanta metro area, including Heards Ferry Elementary, Mount Vernon School, Holy Innocents' Episcopal School, The Epstein School, Dickerson Middle School, Ridgeview Middle School, Lake Forest Elementary, High Point Elementary, and Eastside Elementary in Marietta, among others.
Artemis Smiles Orthodontics Atlanta provides braces, Invisalign, early orthodontic intervention, airway-focused expanders, lingual braces, and comprehensive orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults. With digital 3D scanning, advanced treatment planning, and a family-friendly approach, the practice delivers comfortable, personalized care.
