Cheers to Smiles: Raising a Glass for Cleft Gene Research

Recently, I had the privilege of meeting Prof. David Rice, the head of the Helsinki Orthodontic Department, during a lecture. I was deeply inspired by the remarkable genetic research being conducted on cleft palates—both the achievements to date and the incredible potential for the future. This motivated me to support this vital research through a special funding initiative.

To contribute, I am gifting 60 packages of “Orthodontics Meets Wine”—a curated three-bottle collection—to the first 60 donors. Each package is valued at approximately €45. You’re welcome to donate any amount you wish—whether it’s €1 or more. Together, let’s raise a glass to our wonderful profession and, even more importantly, to advancing groundbreaking genetic research that helps cleft babies and their families.

Wishing you all a joyful and meaningful Christmas season!

Hugs,

Björn
