8th Grader Wins ARCH Orthodontics’ First Selfies Photo Contest

You Look Mah-velous!

(Fall 2014)  —  It was one of the first-ever Selfies Photo Contests sponsored by an Orthodontic practice. And the judges had a tough time choosing a winner from the three dozen entries. Ultimately, they chose Sharon 8^th grader Tiffany Marshall who shares her selfie picture with Red Sox mascot, Wally the Green Monster. The caption is, “It’s always a home run with Arch Orthodontics!”

The winning entry was announced by Dr. Robert Chavez and Dr. Andrew Chase (shown presenting top prize to Tiffany) of ARCH Orthodontics in Stoughton. The rules were simple: “Take a great, fun photo that shows off your braces or fabulously finished smile!” Tiffany won a Kindle Fire HD for her efforts.

“I had a lot of fun trying to come up with creative ideas,” Tiffany says. “I also think the selfie contest was a great way to get kids to be less self-conscious and give them more self-confidence and a chance to show off their great smile.”

Its’ still early for Tiffany to know what she wants to be, but she knows “it will be related to either fashion design or dance.” She’s in a dance company called Project Moves whose goal is to empower youth and bring attention to acts of injustice locally and around the world. The group’s Accept ME anti-bullying performance has been performed at high schools throughout Massachusetts and at the Joyce Theatre in NY. “Being a member of Project Moves Dance Company, makes me feel lucky to be able to change the world with our dance,” she says.

Tiffany says, “It’s important to give back to the people around you when you have the chance. Last year, for the Mitzvah Project for my Bat Mitzvah, I raised $800 for the Boston Ronald McDonald house. You never know what might come your way.  In my case, a great smile is on its way with the help of braces and ARCH Orthodontics. What’s on your way?”
