Gifted Smiles: A Charitable Orthodontic Program of the AAO Foundation

(800) 424-2841

Providing Care to Those in Need

The goal of Gifted Smiles is to provide children with access to a beautiful and healthy smile. Therefore, our main purpose remains the same as it was the day the program was founded over a decade ago: to create opportunities for children to access professional and individual orthodontic intervention by a volunteer network of AAO members. Gifted Smiles provides treatment nationwide and has helped thousands of children love their smile and functional bite.

Sorry for the inconvenience; the Gifted Smiles application portal and process have been temporarily placed on hold.  Our goal is to have the application portal open again by early 2024.  If you have already started the application process for donated orthodontic services, you will also be contacted in early 2024.  Thank you in advance for your patience.
