2012 was a year of significant growth for Smiles Change Lives (SCL). SCL began the year with the intent of making huge strides in the number of applications received, the number of children placed into treatment and the number of doctors partnered with SCL. Thanks to the determination, hard work, and invaluable support of our orthodontic providers, volunteers, sponsors, and donors; we were able to achieve those goals and set a high standard for the future. In 2013, we anticipate more than 1,000 children will begin treatment and will be on their way to having a bright, confident smile.
"2012 was a tremedous year of growth for Smiles Change Lives. I am thrilled with our year-end results and anticipate a significant growth in the number of children we will serve in 2013," states Tom Brown, president of SCL.
