From The Happy Tooth web site:

Caring for children & adults. Orthodontist featuring Invisalign. We file insurance.

All dentists are taught to treat some orthodontic problems. If your general dentist thinks you should see a specialist, he or she will refer you to an orthodontist who has had advanced university-based training in the area of dental development, malocclusion, and facial esthetics. 

Dr. Moray brings a unique perspective to his practice. His life philosophy has been to enjoy the richness of life's many experiences, and this permeates all his endeavors.

Dr. Moray moved to Chapel Hill , NC in 1979, entering a PhD program in neurobiology in 1982. He completed his dental training at UNC in 1990, and spent one year in a hospital dental residency in Hampton, Virginia. From 1991-94 he taught at the VCU/MCV School of Dentistry, and ran the hospital dental clinic at MCV Hospitals in Richmond, Virginia.

Following graduation from the orthodontic residency at UNC in 1997, Dr. Moray opened his office at Preston Corners and then opened his office in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in September of 2001. Dr. Moray continues to teach part time at UNC.

For fun, Dr. Moray competes in triathlons, so he can often be found running and cycling around Cary and neighboring areas!

If you feel you have an emergency, please call our office. By calling before coming by, it allows us to evaluate your problem and schedule the time needed. If our office is closed due to vacation or staff continuing education courses, you will be instructed whom to call. 
 
If something comes off of your braces, bring the piece with you. It may be something that we can replace.
A loose bracket may wait until your next appointment to be fixed. If more than one bracket is loose, please call so we may give you a longer appointment time to reattach them. 
 
If you have any bleeding, swelling, or constant pain that Advil or Tylenol will not relieve, please call. Dr. Moray may want to see you. 
 
Our office always has someone on call to assist you after normal business hours. Please call the office for emergency instructions and an emergency number. 
 
If you wish to change or cancel your appointment , please do not call the emergency number. You may leave a message on our answering machine.

Our 2008 CHERUBS Angel Ball was a success!






The crepe myrles and lilies were gorgeous outside and the flowers were stunning inside.  The food was amazing, created by several local caterers who indeed created "An Angelic Taste of the Triangle".   The band was rock'n!   The Master of Ceremonies was charming.   The hostesses were beautiful.   The volunteers were incredible.   The auction was wonderful and exciting.   The raffles were fun.  The photographs are stunning.   The room was full of angels.

We danced, we ate, we bid on items and we learned about CDH.  All for a great cause and the event was fun and enchanting, thanks to our incredible event planners and the ladies at the Raleigh Junior Women's Club.

The entire night was magical - so magical that we even had a proposal at the event!   What better compliment is there than that?

What is CDH?

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) occurs in approximately 1 in every 2,500 births (1,600 cases in the U.S. each year).  The cause of CDH is not yet known.  The diaphragm is formed in the first trimester of pregnancy and controls the lungs' ability to inhale and exhale.  CDH occurs when the diaphragm fails to form or to close totally and an opening allows abdominal organs into the chest cavity.  This inhibits lung growth.     The cause is not yet known.

Roughly 50% of babies born with CDH do not survive.   Of the 50% that do survive, most will endure long hospital stays, feeding issues, asthma and other problems.  A few of the survivors suffer from severe long-term medical issues.< CDH occurs as frequently as Spina Bifida and Cystic Fibrosis, yet there is very little research being done and virtually no media coverage.
