One local Orthodontist is fighting bullying in our community, one smile at a time.

In 2018 Dr. Ben Fishbein launched the ‘Embrace Program’. It’s an anti-bullying campaign through his foundation where Dr. Fishbein provides free orthodontic care for children who have been bullied.

Last year, Dr. Fishbein chose six students to receive free braces.

Channel 3 News talked to several of those patients who have become young ambassadors against bullying, with some newfound confidence.

This feature will air Monday, October 7 at 6 a.m. CDT on WEAR’s Three In the Morning show.
