Put on your thinking cap

This year’s headline designer is Natalia Fedner, who was born in Ukraine + immigrated to Columbus as a child. She’s since worked for some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, and Janet Jackson — do we need to name more? Because we can.

On Thurs., Oct. 13, Natalia will share her story in a conversation that benefits her home country through the Ukrainian Cultural Association of Central Ohio. Entry fees, which are $25, will be donated to the non-profit.

It’s World Smile Day — celebrate by gifting yourself a straighter smile

Want a straighter smile?

SmileDirectClub can make it happen, with 22-hour-wear aligners and Nighttime Aligners™ that straighten teeth as little as 4-6 months.

Here’s how it works:

Using an in-person scan or an at-home kit, SmileDirectClub creates a 3D image of your teeth that they use to assess your smile.
Then, they create a custom aligner treatment plan to straighten it — for 60% less than braces or Invisalign.

Results are guaranteed for life.*
