When you’re a parent, few things feel better than seeing your child smile with confidence. At Flax Dental in Atlanta, we don’t just straighten teeth — we help create joy. Just ask Grayson and her mom, two amazing members of our patient family.
A Tough Road Before Coming to Flax Dental
Grayson had faced a long list of dental challenges before she ever walked through our doors. Born with a cleft palate, she endured:
- Multiple surgeries, including double jaw surgery and corrections for airway issues.
- Braces and dental appliances starting as early as second grade.
- Permanent teeth extracted due to crowding in the roof of her mouth.
Her journey stretched over a decade — filled with specialists, setbacks, and surgeries. But through it all, Grayson and her mom pushed forward with resilience.
“She has been in some kind of dental apparatus since very early on,” her mom shared. “But she never gave up.”
Why Grayson Was Referred to Flax Dental
After years of treatment, one of Grayson’s doctors referred her to us for a more refined, cosmetic-focused outcome — something beyond function. Something beautiful. That’s where we stepped in.
At Flax Dental, we take pride in personalized, collaborative care. Every case, especially one as complex as Grayson’s, gets thoughtful planning and team discussion. We involved both mom and daughter in decisions at every step.
This approach is a key reason patients from all over Atlanta and Sandy Springs trust us for Smile Makeovers.
Grayson’s Atlanta Smile Makeover: The Outcome
Grayson’s new smile was more than a dental result — it was a confidence reboot.
“People in my class tell me all the time, ‘Your teeth are so straight and white.’”
That feedback means everything. It reflects the transformation we aim for in every case — not just straighter teeth, but a reason to smile more often.
Her mom added:
“She smiles more. And when she smiles, I smile. That’s what every parent wants.”

A Smile That Reflects the Real You
We believe a smile should tell your story — not your history of surgeries or dental challenges. That’s why we spend time understanding each patient’s goals, lifestyle, and self-image.
For Grayson, the impact wasn’t just visual. It was emotional. Her posture changed. Her social interactions improved. She became more herself.
And for her mom, the reward was seeing her daughter light up every room.
“Our neighbors say, ‘Something’s different — you look so happy!’”
That’s the kind of outcome we strive for at Flax Dental — authentic confidence, powered by expert care.
