Dr. Markarian appeared on St Louis Fox 2 News Morning show on Monday September 15th in the 8-9 am hour. Dr. Markarian talked about the charity, Smiles Change Lives, that he is helping to organize in the greater St. Louis metropolitan area. Smiles Change Lives provides orthodontic treatments for patients with significant orthodontic needs and with major financial hardship. The idea is to help improve the individual’s self esteem, giving them the confidence to achieve more in life.
