North Carolina Orthodontist Offers Free Handguns with Invisalign Treatment Amid Controversy

"Grins and Glocks" promotion by Gladwell Orthodontics targets Youngsville Gun Club and Range members, offering a free Glock 19 or club membership with Invisalign treatment; critics express concern over potential safety risks despite legal compliance.

• Gladwell Orthodontics in North Carolina, owned by Dr. Jason Gladwell, has launched a 'Grins and Glocks' promotion, offering a free Glock 19 or a Silver membership at the Youngsville Gun Club & Range with an Invisalign treatment.
• The promotion is targeted at members of the Youngsville Gun Club and Range and is non-transferable, meaning the person who starts the Invisalign treatment must be the eligible person.
• Despite the controversy, local attorney Ron Shook confirmed that the promotion is legal, but expressed concerns about firearms potentially being transferred to individuals who do not qualify to possess them, such as those with criminal histories, mental health issues, or under the age of 21.
• Kurt Lieberman, owner of the Youngsville Gun Club & Range, assured that individuals would need to complete necessary background checks to receive the free gun, and while not required by state law, they would also recommend taking a training class.
• Align Technology, the producer of Invisalign products, distanced itself from the promotion, stating it was not involved in its development or approval and that the promotion does not reflect their brand purpose.
