Capstone Project Statement of Intent

A little something about me: There is something about teeth and smiles that attract me to people. One person's smile can make another person's day and even change view points of a population, of even the world. Smiles come with confidence, and confidence is one of the best things you can wear. My career goal is to become a successful orthodontist and own my own practice one day, specifically around ten years from now. Using a variety of instruments and braces, to be exact, an orthodontist corrects jawlines and straightens teeth over a period of time. With ideal healthy teeth, people gain confidence and most smile more than ever.

A little something about my Capstone Project: Because I want to become a successful orthodontist, I realize I would have to interact with many people. Humans are all different in their own ways and take care of themselves differently too. Some may be healthier than others concerning all kinds of health. Oral health is what I am most concerned of for this project. The goals of my project is to innovate and improve ways of getting rid of Halitosis, or bad breath, and fighting off the harmful bacterias that cause it. We all know we have bad breath sometimes, probably at least once every day, especially when we just get up from sleeping a night away. Like how I said we all are different, some people unfortunately have it worst than others. Certain people may be born with extreme or chronic Halitosis and cannot really control the way their breath smells no matter what they do. My project is to create a retainer-like end product that persons can wear conveniently while they sleep. The product would have certain ingredients that can help kill germs and bacteria that cause Halitosis, freshen breath, and even maybe help whiten teeth. The product would work as if a hard candy or dis-solvable whitening strips and dissolve and evaporate on a person's teeth or in their mouths. To have a better way of dealing with Halitosis is important due to the fact that people interact with each other all over the world all the time. We should care and know that it is important to help fight off bad breath because appearances and first impressions with the way we interact with someone, no matter what, does affect the way we live. If you have smelly breath all the time, people tend to want to keep your mouth shut or not be as close to you as they would people with normal or good-smelling breath. With great-smelling breath, confidence is gained and the world can change for the better with these little things in life. The littlest things in life seem to always make the biggest impacts. My project gives back to society in that way: to boost confidence and have oral health be at a good high.

If anyone has any comments, concerns, or suggestions for me... please do tell :)
