SMS Terms
Effective date: November 9, 2026
These terms apply to the text messages Happy Dental Land sends you after you request an orthodontic consultation through this website and tick the box that agrees to them. The same box agrees to calls about your request, which our Privacy Policy describes along with what the website collects and where it goes.
What the messages are
When you agree, Happy Dental Land sends automated text messages to the cell phone number you gave about your request: a one-time code that confirms your number when you send the form, the times available at the office you chose, the confirmation of your visit, directions to the office, and reminders before the visit. Some of the messages are written by Sofia, an automated assistant; our team reads the conversation and follows up during office hours. The code comes from +1 213-698-4949; the other messages come from +1 213-376-6523.
Agreeing is not a condition of care
You must agree to the messages to send the form, because the request is answered by text. You do not have to send the form to receive care: you can call any of our offices instead, and agreeing to the messages is never a condition of treatment.
How often, and what it costs
Message frequency varies with your request: expect a code when you send the form, a few messages around the time you book, a confirmation request, and a reminder before the visit. Happy Dental Land does not charge for the messages. Message and data rates may apply from your carrier.
To stop, or to get help
Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving them; you get one message that confirms you are unsubscribed, and nothing more. Reply HELP to any message for help, email [email protected], or call one of our offices. If you stop the messages, our office arranges your consultation by phone instead.
Carriers
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. The messages are available on the major U.S. carriers; whether your phone can receive them depends on your carrier and your plan.
Your information
Your phone number and your consent are used for these messages and are not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes. The Privacy Policy says more.
