Smile for a Lifetime Foundation is a charitable non-profit organization that provides orthodontic care to individuals who may not have the opportunity to acquire assistance.
Launched in 2008, Smile for a Lifetime Foundation aims to reach individuals with financial challenges, special situations, and orthodontic needs. The Foundation sponsors the orthodontic care of hundreds of patients each year.
Smile for a Lifetime Foundation has participating orthodontists throughout the US. Each chapter has its own local Board of Directors who chooses patients to be treated by the Foundation.
The Orange County chapter was founded in 2011 through its strategic partnership with Ormco Corporation. A global orthodontic manufacturer of innovative products, Ormco has committed to providing all brackets and wires required for each patient to all participating Smile for a Lifetime orthodontists. A beautiful smile can literally transform the life on an individual. It is the Orange County chapter goal to treat multiple patients throughout the year as part of the Smile for a Lifetime program.
