@browneyedgurl801: Evan Hill was 12 years old and had a nickname that followed him everywhere: “rabbit boy.” He lived in Christchurch, New Zealand, and his front teeth were so large that he couldn’t even close his mouth completely. Dental care in his country is usually free, but cosmetic treatments aren’t subsidized. His family needed about $12,000 they didn’t have, and his mother, Barbara Erickson, even considered putting a mortgage on the house. Then his case was featured on the television program Campbell Live, and the viewers’ response exceeded all expectations: donations topped $100,000. Orthodontist Ronald Sluiter called it the worst case he had seen in his 25-year career. Over about five years, with monthly visits, Evan’s teeth moved 15 millimeters. When his last braces were finally removed, the doctor said to him: “We’ve come a long way, haven’t we?”
