How Can I Help?

There are a number of ways you can help a deserving child with a disfiguring smile get braces:

 1.  Support Embrace Smiles, a promotional products company with a purpose. Embrace Smiles sells what businesses and groups need:  uniforms, incentives, awards, advertising specialties, gifts, signage, and more! When you purchase items from Embrace Smiles, a portion of the proceeds go to SCL. 

2.  See our 2009 Wish List! Donate new or gently used items to help our office staff. Contact Andrea Umbreit to learn more.

3. Join the network of Orthodontic Partners. More orthodontists are always welcome to sign up to treat our patients. For more information, please click here.

4. Organize a group of community members to bring Smiles Change Lives to your area. A small, committed group of citizens can make anything happen, and we’re here to help. Click here to request more information on how to start the program near you.

5. Refer this program to your dentist, orthodontist or other health professionals, as well as local youth service providers, churches and clinics. We are always looking for more ways to reach underserved populations who need access to life-changing orthodontics. For more information, contact LeAnn Smith
