Help Eden Fix Her Smile & Stop Her Tooth Pain.

Auckland

Two years ago, we learned that Eden’s teeth issues were more serious than expected, we had no idea we would be stuck waiting, watching her situation get worse, with no way to afford the care she urgently needs.

With no public funding, we have exhausted every option, & now Eden is starting to feel pain, signs her dental issues are progressing & causing lasting harm.

Eden’s case is complex, & leaving it untreated will lead to permanent damage, ongoing discomfort, & more costly procedures later. Here is exactly what the orthodontist confirmed:

• She is missing her permanent upper right side tooth, and her two upper adult canines are trapped & stuck in the bone beneath her palate

• A mix of remaining baby teeth & growing adult teeth, with moderate crowding in both jaws and a very narrow upper jaw

• Her back teeth do not meet properly on either side, and her front teeth overlap excessively (severe overbite)

• Her bite is already wearing down her teeth — including her first molars & front teeth — causing irreversible damage

• Her smaller-than-normal upper left tooth & shifted jawline add further complications.

✅ Surgery to expose her trapped canines & remove remaining baby teeth

✅ Fit a palatal expander to widen her jaw & make room for all her teeth

✅ Full upper & lower braces to align teeth, correct her bite, and fix her jaw alignment

✅ Adjustments to reduce the damaging overbite & stop further tooth wear

✅ Long-term retention to keep results stable for life.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
