What a weekend! We hope everyone enjoyed the special day on Sunday. Dr. Menjivar had an extra special Mother’s Day as she got to spend it with her Mom as well as the whole family during a family reunion in Asheville, North Carolina.

We just wanted to say a quick thank you to all the moms out there for everything they do…including helping their kids get the perfect smile! Moms seem to do the majority of shuttling of children between school, sports, AND their orthodontic appointments. Thank you for being the glue that keeps the well-oiled machine of the family nucleus running! Happy Mother’s Day to all the important women in the world and a very special Mother’s Day to our FVO Moms!
