The charity supports patients who cannot afford orthodontic treatment, aiming for younger individuals in financial need; it provides 10 cases with no lab cost from Align Technology and adds 10 more cases through Clearly Aligned for 20 total per year, with case design support available. A first patient, “Patient Zero” treated by Dr. Sandra Finch’s idea, began Align therapy in November 2025 after four hygiene visits and some basic restorative and preventive care, with early compliance challenges addressed with compassion and gentle firmness. The Loom also reminds doctors to use Clearly Select/Slack resources and Dr. Lee Harfield’s office hours for case review support.
