San Diego State, Orthodontists To Promote Healthy Lifestyles

San Diego State University and local orthodontists are teaming up for a new program in which orthodontists will provide teenage and preteen patients with three minutes of guidance on healthy eating, physical activity and tobacco avoidance during their orthodontic care. The program, called Healthy Smiles, is being funded by NIH and the National Cancer Institute.
