Local orthodontist’s office holds screening day to provide low cost braces through Smiles Change Lives

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Lawless Orthodontics in Bowling Green is giving back to the community by providing a screening day for families who can’t afford braces.

The orthodontist partnered with the non-profit, Smiles Change Lives. If a patient is accepted, they will get braces for $650.

Braces usually cost thousands of dollars to uninsured patients.

All participating orthodontists provide all services free of charge. The fee goes to Smiles Change Lives in order to find more offices throughout the United States and Canada to provide braces for their communities.

Lisa Shepard of Smiles Change Lives says many kids are bullied at school because of their teeth and a pretty smile can actually help a child get a job in the future.
