Fry Orthodontic Specialists is proud to partner with the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation. Our mutual goal is to change lives through orthodontics and impact our communities in a positive way. A smile can inspire hope, increase self confidence, and change a community.
What is the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation?
Founded as a non-profit organization, the Smile for a Life foundation is an orthodontic organization dedicated to providing care to individuals who otherwise may not receive treatment. Launched in 2008, the foundation has grown to over 37 orthodontic partners across the United States. With local chapters, each having its own Board of Directors to determine awards, the foundation is community focused and locally based.
If you, or someone you know, is deserving and could benefit from the gift of a smile, please fill out the application.
A few notes about the application process:
Letters of Recommendation are mandatory. Please submit no more than two letters, each no more than one page in length. Be sure that the letters are either typed or neatly written in black ink.
Please submit clear, high-quality pictures of the applicant's teeth. As this is a need-based gift, we must be able to accurately assess the applicant's orthodontic need in order to consider him or her.
Once submitted, the application, pictures, and letters of recommendation become the sole property of the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation and will not be returned. Please, before you submit the application and support materials, keep copies for your records.
The applicant must be a resident of the area that the local foundation serves. You may not apply to more than one foundation, nor may you apply to a foundation that serves an area in which you do not reside. The foundation reserves the right to disqualify applicants that are determined to live outside of the local area.
