About this organization
Mission
It is our mission to make a difference in the lives of children and young adults of lower income families in our community. We hope to accomplish this by building self-confidence, creating beautiful smiles and promoting life-long oral health through the provision of necessary orthodontic services and oral health education.
About
Reduced cost (charity care) orthodontic services, as described in the organization's charity care policy, were provided to 358 new patients in 2018 from lower income families who, in most cases, would not otherwise be able to afford it. Referrals to the program were received from dental clinics, private dentists and social services agencies. The significant increase in participants can be attributed to a growing increase in awareness of our organization within the community as well as an expansion of our service area. Approximately $260,000 in discounted and charity orthodontic services provided in 2018 (with over $1.8m since 2008). Opened a new location in Pentwater, MI during 2018 to expand our service area in West Michigan.
