Miss Massachusetts 2010, Loren Galler Rabinowitz, recently visited the offices of ARCH Orthodontics in Canton where she discussed the importance for children to gain self-confidence and follow their dreams and talked about her year-long reign.

Loren, a patient at ARCH, where she recently had her teeth whitened and started an invisible brace regimen, signed autographs, chatted with guests and posed for photos, including with a few youngsters from Stoughton.

Stoughton eight-year-olds Elisa DiLetizia and Rebecca DeSousa, both students at the Gibbons School, had their picture taken with Miss Massachusetts 2010, as did 18-month-old Stella Cobb of Stoughton, whose mom Lucy is the office manager at ARCH Orthodontics in Stoughton (take a look at the photos in the media gallery).

Loren was crowned in June, 2010, three weeks after graduating with honors from Harvard University. She is a U.S. Figure Skating Bronze Medalist, a published poet, and a classical pianist. She will attend Columbia Medical School this coming fall.

Partners in ARCH Orthodontics are Dr. Robert Chavez and his son Dr. Andrew Chase. The practice uses the motto ‘Creating Generations of Beautiful Smiles,’ and offers a complimentary initial consultation including digital photos and panoral x-rays.
