Orlando Orthodontist of Lach Orthodontic Specialists Launches 'Smiles For Hope Foundation' To Help Children In Central Florida
Online, May 31, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Orthodontic procedures and treatments can take a huge bite out of a patient's bank account. With average cost of treatment ranging from $4,000-$5,000 or more, orthodontic care poses a financial challenge for many parents, especially during difficult economic times.
To address the dental needs of many families in the tough economies, premier Orlando orthodontist, Dr. David R. Lach and Lach Orthodontic Specialists have initiated the Smiles For Hope Foundation, in which children and families are offered a scholarship program, and apply for complimentary orthodontic treatment, kids braces, and dental services.
"This opportunity isn't so much about straightening teeth as it is about giving impoverished children a chance at a happier, more successful future than they otherwise would not have had without the benefits of a beautiful smile," Dr. Lach says. "I feel privileged and honored to be able to provide services that have the potential to greatly impact and change the lives of children in a very special way," continued Dr. Lach.
Each year, the a diverse and established board of directors behind Smiles for Hope Foundation reviews applicants before selecting those who will receive the free orthodontic treatment based on financial need, letters of recommendation, community involvement and special circumstances.
