Loretta the Orthodontic Daruma

Loretta, wearing orthodontic brackets, is a 1960s-style American girl.

The eye spaces are left open so the daruma can still be used in the traditional way—filling in one eye at the start of a wish, and the other upon its fulfillment.

Created by a former dental technician as a three-dimensional art piece, this work is dedicated to all those who dream of a beautiful smile and wish for the success of their orthodontic journey.
