New smile, no worries: Mattea’s story
June 3, 2025 | Read time: 2 min
When Analee learned her daughter, Mattea, needed braces, she was worried — Mattea got physically sick at even the thought of going to the dentist. But Dr. Megan LeCornu knew she could rely on a solution that she considers to be an extension of her team: 3M™ Digital Bonding.
“Efficiency and speed are critical when you’re working with special needs children,” says Megan. “You don’t have a lot of time, especially if there’s anxiety.” But she says Digital Bonding makes things more efficient, allowing her to basically design a smile with high level accuracy and ultimately give Mattea an entire set of braces in under 40 minutes.
With care, compassion — and our advanced digital technology — Megan and her team helped Mattea achieve a healthy smile and even come to enjoy her visits to the orthodontist. See how 3M™ Digital Bonding can help make orthodontic care faster, more comfortable — and maybe even improve a life.
Mattea is why we solve.
