Our Apex
and Cary, NC orthodontist, Dr. Alena Spielberg very much enjoys helping
patients obtain the beautiful, healthy smiles they deserve. The confidence an
improved smile provides can make a world of difference in a person's life and
Dr. Spielberg obtains great pleasure from helping to make that happen. In
addition to the time she dedicates to her practice, Dr. Spielberg also
contributes to the local community by being actively involved in several
organizations.
Dr.
Spielberg is also very proud to be a part of the Smile for a Lifetime
charitable foundation. This foundation sponsors orthodontic care for hundreds
of patients each year through participating orthodontists like Dr. Spielberg.
The Smile for a Lifetime Foundation is a non-profit, charitable organization
that seeks to provide orthodontic treatment for individuals who are unable to
obtain assistance. It was established in 2008 and reaches out to those who
because of financial difficulties or special situations cannot address their
orthodontic needs.
