Andrea is the daugh- ter of Barbara and Raymond Sneider of Bloomfield Hills. Ryan is the son of Miriam and Parviz Hakimi of Ann Arbor. Marian Hinton, friend of the bride, was the matron of honor. Bridesmaids were Elizabeth Sneider, sister-in-law of the bride; Angie Bethel, sister-in-law of the groom; and friend Jodi Levy-Fenton. Flower girls were Isabel Sneider and Madeleine Sneider, nieces of the bride. Andrew Eleazar, friend of the groom, was best man. Groomsmen included Allen Hakimi, brother of the groom; Michael Sneider, brother of the bride; and friend Stephen Terrell. Jacob Sneider, nephew of the bride, was the ring bearer. The bride and groom were pleased to have Libbie Sneider, grandmother of the bride, participate in the ceremony. They spent their honeymoon in Mexico and reside in Durham, N. C. While orthodontic treatment is most often associated with straightening adolescent teeth, there are other pur- poses to which this specialized branch of dentistry may be applied. Consider the case of a person who required treatment to force the lower canine or cuspid tooth into position after it failed to erupt. To affect the desired out- come, the patient's lower teeth were bracketed with an Nelson Hersh orthodontic button bonded onto the protruding tip of the DDS, MS unerupted tooth. Elastic wires were then connected from Licensed Specialist the brackets to the button, and replaced monthly. After a period of time the button was removed and a bracket placed on the erupt- ing tooth until the tooth was in its ideal position and the braces removed. An archwire linked the bracket to the orthodontic attachments on other teeth and helped push the tooth upward and in place. More commonly, an upper canine has insufficient space to properly align and can give an uncomfortable look of a "fang" tooth. It may have a loss of space (be trapped) and cause resultant mid-line discrepancies. An upper cuspid also may have an improper eruption path, be unable to erupt, or even have an erup- tion path that may endanger the health or cause other permanent teeth to be lost. If a child has most of his permanent teeth with the exception of an upper cuspid, a consultation with an orthodontist should be made. Parents with any orthodontic concerns for their child should consult an ortho- dontist concerning the need for orthodontic treatment. As a dental specialist, an orthodontist has elected to limit his practice to this specific area or exper- tise and has received additional training by an accredited dental school for advanced education.
