Help Ali Rose Get New Teeth
Donation protected
Ali Rose is a 10 year old girl with a condition called oligodontia. Clinical features of oligodontia include six or more missing teeth, lack of development of maxillary and mandibular alveolar bone height and reduced lower facial height.
Ali is missing a total of 14 teeth. At present, her treatment plan includes extracting two of her baby teeth that are lodged, a palate expander to help widen her top palate, braces to carefully move her two front teeth, and fusion of implants to close the gaps left by her missing teeth. This process will take many years to complete and will cost over $10,000.
Ali's mother is out of work on disability due to rheumatoid arthritis and sarcoidosis. She's been dealing with RA treatment for the past two years in an attempt to get her RA into remission, to no avail. Ali's father works to support the family, but he is diabetic and his insulin and insulin pod costs aren't covered under his insurance plan and are over $500 each month.
Ali's parents just don't have the money to pay to start the process of getting her teeth fixed. She's been picked on at school, made fun of, people ask her "what's wrong with you?" As Ali gets older, it becomes more difficult to deal with the daily struggles of being different. Anything you can do to help this family would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
