Here at Smiles Change Lives (SCL), we understand that for many families, braces are simply out of reach because of their cost. However, we don’t believe braces should be considered a luxury. A healthy, beautiful smile is one of the building blocks of self-esteem and self-confidence. Every child deserves to feel good about their smile!
Several partnering orthodontists in the Richmond area have immediate openings to treat children who qualify.
