Application Guidelines and Topic Choices:
Please submit a 500 - 1,000 word essay, double spaced and printed, submitted by mail (no discs, flash drives, etc.) on one of the following topic choices:
- Describe your transition from the start of treatment through the day your braces were removed as you saw the dramatic changes to your smile. Detail your emotional and physical journey as the changes took place.
- Give an example of how your new smile gives you confidence, and how it has and will benefit you in pursuing your life and career goals.
- Write as if you were speaking to a patient who is just about to start orthodontic treatment, but are a bit unnerved by the prospect as you must have been at the start of your care. Use the wisdom of your experience to convey how braces will positively affect their appearance and personality, and how they represent themselves.
