Twice a year SCL participants are invited to enter our Smile Story contest. We ask participants to complete a questionnaire and send us a photograph of themselves, smiling of course! Four names are then drawn from hundreds of entries.
All prizes are generously donated by Philips Sonicare!
Congratulations to all of our January Smile Story contest winners!
First Prize
Joanna K.
Dr. Eric Neuer, Prairie Pointe Orthodontics
“Braces have given me the confidence to be myself, to talk to new people, to express myself and not worry about people looking at me because of my crooked teeth. I appreciate how Smiles Change Lives is determined to “change lives” by giving access to the best orthodontics, care, and smiles! “
Andrew K.
Dr. Clay Vanderwall, Vanderwall Orthodontics
“I had a cross bite and several crooked teeth. Without Smiles Change Lives, I might not have been able to get braces. Many thanks to Dr. Vanderwall and his staff for donating their time. Having straight teeth will give me more confidence to smile, and will change my life!”

Alexia G.
Dr. Virginia Mennemeyer, Mennemeyer Orthodontics
” I was nervous to open my mouth, afraid someone would say something about my teeth, which they always did. Thank you for caring about my smile. Braces have not only given me straight teeth, but also the confidence to do so many more things. I couldn’t do without them, and you!”
