Who chooses the scholarship winner?
To apply for the scholarship, students must write an essay, “Why I Want Braces.” Students submit the essay, a completed application, and a photo to their school counselor. Two students from each school will be selected for free braces!

What’s the timeline for this scholarship?
Don’t let your child miss out on this opportunity to make over their smile! Application packets are due to school counselors by April 1st. If selected, your child will be notified by May 1st. We will schedule their initial exam later that month at our office in either The Woodlands, TX or Conroe, TX to take X-rays and scans and create a treatment plan. Your child will be in braces by early June.

Why are braces important for my child?
While braces are effective for older teens and even adults, the junior high years are generally the best time for orthodontic treatment. Your child has most of their adult teeth, but their jaw and head are still growing. The guidance of an orthodontist can make sure your child develops a healthy, beautiful smile.
