We are offering the service of Smiles in Motion for our patients in grades 5 - 12 for the 2005-2006 school year. Smiles in Motion is a 2004 Chevrolet Suburban driven by Ms. Kim Celmer, a licensed school bus driver and an assistant in our office.

Smiles in Motion will visit your child's school on a designated day at a specific time. Those patients with scheduled appointments will be picked up at their school, transported to Reading Orthodontic Group and returned to school via Smiles in Motion upon the completion of their group's appointments. When your child's next appointment is scheduled, it will be on the designated Smiles in Motion day for their particular school. We are confident this will reduce the time students spend out of school in addition to helping out busy parents.

We'll pick your child up at school! Download & complete the necessary form now.
