Mission
Smiles Change Lives (SCL) promotes and provides access to life-changing, essential orthodontic treatment for children from low-income. More than 20% of children ages 11 - 18 have severely crooked teeth and misaligned jaws. We have provided nearly 1,000 kids with an opprotunity for braces since 1997.

Programs
SCL's unique and innovative model delivers services through community partnerships. SCL partner orthodontists donate their services to qualified, approved participants.
We currently have programs in MO, KS, FL, MN, KY, NY, and VA. Our number of children receiving treatment through our program continually increase each year. For application information and program guidelines, visit www.smileschangelives.org.
A Message from LeAnn Smith, COO
Across the U.S., there are over 3 million young people who need braces to correct a deformed smile that will hinder their future opportunities and chances for success. These children shouldn’t have to pay for their parents’ poverty, so please help us help them. Thanks in advance for any support you can provide!
