Dear Stockholders:
We are writing to advise you that we intend to amend our Articles of
Incorporation to increase our authorized shares of Common Stock, par value
$.0001 per share, to 1,500,000,000 shares. This action was approved on June
9, 2006 by our Board of Directors. In addition, two shareholders who hold a
majority of our issued and outstanding voting securities also approved this
action on June 9, 2006, by written consent in lieu of a special meeting in
accordance with the relevant sections of the Florida Business Corporation
Act. We will file the Articles of Amendment to our Articles of
Incorporation, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, with the
Secretary of State of Florida on or about July 14, 2006.
As described hereafter, this action will enable us to take quicker
advantage of acquisition and/or merger opportunities that may become
available to us by having sufficient shares authorized to enter into such
transactions. Our Board believes this action may assist us in attracting
possible acquisition candidates.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY, AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US
A PROXY.
No action is required by you. The accompanying information statement is
furnished only to inform our stockholders of the actions described above
before they take place in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. This information statement is first mailed to you on
or about June 23, 2006.
Please feel free to call us at (305) 371-4112 should you have any
questions on the enclosed Information Statement. We thank you for your
continued interest in Orthodontix.
For the Board of Directors of
Orthodontix, Inc.

INFORMATION STATEMENT REGARDING
ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY WRITTEN CONSENT OF
MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS
IN LIEU OF A SPECIAL MEETING
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY,
AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
GENERAL
This Information Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of
Orthodontix, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company") in connection with
the adoption of an Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation by written
consent of our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of our issued
and outstanding voting securities in lieu of a special meeting. On June 9,
2006 our Board of Directors approved an amendment to our Articles of
Incorporation to increase our authorized common stock to 1,500,000,000
shares, par value $.0001 (the "Amendment"). This action will become
effective on the date of filing the Amendment with the Florida Secretary of
State (the "Effective Date of the Amendment") in accordance with the written
consent of our directors and the holders of a majority of our issued and
outstanding common stock and in accordance with the relevant sections of the
Florida Business Corporation Act.
As of June 12, 2006 there are 5,830,856 shares of our common stock
issued and outstanding. The following shareholders who collectively own
approximately 57% of our outstanding common stock, which is in excess of the
required majority of outstanding voting securities necessary for the adoption
of this action, have executed a written consent approving the Amendment:
Stockholder No. of Shares Owned
Frost Gamma Investments Trust 2,965,428
Glenn L. Halpryn 380,100
TOTAL ----------
3,345,528
==========
The increase in the number of authorized shares will not change the
number of currently outstanding shares of common stock or the percentage of
the Company's common stock that you now own. Only the issuance of additional
shares will affect your percentage of ownership. Issuance of additional
shares may have the effect of diluting book value per share as well as your
percentage of ownership. As of the date of this Information Statement, we
have not taken any action and do not have any commitments to issue any of the
additional authorized shares.
3
As described hereafter, it is hoped that these actions will enable the
Company to respond more quickly to any merger or acquisition opportunities
that may become available to us. Our Board believes this Amendment may make
our Company more attractive to possible acquisition candidates. We cannot
assure you, however, that this Amendment will result in our effecting a
merger or acquisition or otherwise make our Company more attractive to
acquisition candidates or potential investors.
The elimination of the need for a meeting of stockholders to approve
this action is made possible by Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business
Corporation Act, which provides that the written consent of the holders of
outstanding shares of voting stock, having not less than the minimum number
of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a
meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted,
may be substituted for such a meeting. In order to eliminate the costs
involved in holding a special meeting, our Board of Directors voted to
utilize the written consent of the holders of a majority in interest of our
voting securities.
Pursuant to Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, we
are required to provide prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action
without a meeting of stockholders to all stockholders who did not consent in
writing to such action. This Information Statement serves as this notice.
This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about June 23, 2006 to
stockholders of record, and is being delivered to inform you of the corporate
actions described herein before they take effect in accordance with Rule 14c-
2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne
by the Company. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians,
fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to
the beneficial owners of our voting securities held of record by them and we
will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding
such material.
No Dissenter's Rights
No dissenter's rights are afforded to our stockholders under Florida law
as a result of the adoption of the Amendment.
OUR PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
Our voting securities are comprised of our common stock. The holders of
our shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each outstanding
share on all matters submitted to our stockholders. The following table
contains information regarding record ownership of our common stock as of
June 12, 2006 held by:
* persons who own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding
voting securities,

(1) Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares
beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person,
shares of Common Stock subject to options or warrants held by that person
that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days
after June 12, 2006 are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed
outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other
person. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, the persons and
entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with
respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws
where applicable.
(2) Represents shares of Common Stock held by Frost Gamma Investments

(3) Represents shares of Common Stock held in various trusts for which
either Dr. Grussmark or his wife is the sole trustee and the beneficiaries of
which are Dr. Grussmark, his wife or his children.
THE AMENDMENT
On June 12, 2006, we had 5,830,856 shares of our common stock
outstanding. Currently, there are 100,000,000 shares of common stock
authorized. There are also 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized,
none of which have ever been issued.
We have realized, in the evaluation of various merger and acquisition
candidates that, given our limited amount of cash, we would need additional
authorized shares to complete a merger or acquisition utilizing our shares.
Therefore, we decided to authorize additional shares at this time to position
the Company to take quick advantage of opportunities that may arise and to
avoid the delay and expense of authorizing additional shares at a later date
in connection with an acquisition. This increase in authorized shares will
empower our board of directors under certain circumstances to issue the
additional shares without prior notice to our shareholders and without their
approval.
The Amendment will not affect your stock ownership in any way. The
issuance of additional common stock, however, will decrease your percentage
of ownership of the Company.

We are required to file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy
statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any
