#Hope-4-Smiles

---

Dr Martin Douglas-Jones, a maxillo-facial surgeon, and Dr Jessica McGuire have set up a multidisciplinary clinic at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital. The project was initiated through collaboration with Prof. Shazia Peer. 

The clinic was set up to identify children with mandibular hypoplasia (small lower jaw) for a variety of reasons. 

This impacts on their ability to breathe, feed, speak, and maintain oral hygiene. Due to the nature of the intervention, these children do not have access to life-altering intervention.
The HOPE-4-Smiles project aims to address this issue by offering surgical intervention.
