At Align Orthodontics, we believe everyone deserves access to a confident, healthy smile, regardless of financial circumstances. That is why Dr. Mirna Nguyen, our compassionate orthodontist, offers the Smile Scholarship program for individuals who might not otherwise afford orthodontic care in Poway, California. This initiative provides life-changing treatment to those with genuine need, focusing on issues such as lack of function, lack of confidence or significant oral health problems.

Who Is Eligible?

The Smile Scholarship is designed for patients in lower income brackets who face challenges that impact their daily lives. Applicants must demonstrate a true need for treatment, whether due to functional issues or personal difficulties related to their smile.

How to Apply

We make the application process simple and accessible for those in need:

  • Application Form: Available directly on our website, the form allows applicants to provide their personal information and details about their circumstances.
  • Personal Story: Applicants can upload a short video or write a brief essay explaining why they should be selected. This is an opportunity to share how orthodontic care could make a difference in their life.
  • Dental Endorsement: The application includes a section for a general dentist to provide an endorsement or clearance, confirming the applicant’s dental health status and suitability for orthodontic treatment.

Our team carefully reviews all applications to select candidates whose lives could be significantly improved by orthodontic care.
