Moneen wrote to us to tell us about her daughter Mecayla who has had issues with her teeth since birth. Mecayla has a second row of teeth on the top that has not only affected her self-esteem but it's taken its toll on her health too. After reading Moneen’s email Ryan gave her a call because we want to give Mecayla her smile back! Operation Smile kindly connected us with Dr. Jean van Lierop who volunteered his services for Mecayla. He also brought in a team of specialists including Dr. Hans Strydom and Dr. Malcolm du Preez.
