Proud Partner of Embracing Our Warriors
At San Diego Smile Pros, we believe our veterans deserve every opportunity to smile with confidence. That’s why we proudly partner with Embracing Our Warriors, a national nonprofit organization that connects volunteer orthodontists with veterans who have service-related disabilities and cannot afford orthodontic treatment.
Each year, San Diego Smile Pros donates orthodontic care, including one set of retainers, to help restore confidence and improve the quality of life for the heroes who have sacrificed for our country.
Embracing Our Warriors is a nationwide charitable nonprofit that provides free orthodontic treatment to veterans with service-related disabilities and their immediate family members (child under 18 or spouse)
Veteran Eligibility
Applicants must:
- Have an honorable discharge.
- Have a documented service-related disability.
- Demonstrate financial need based on Embracing Our Warriors income guidelines.
- Have good dental hygiene.
- Have a moderate to severe orthodontic need.
How to Apply
Applications are submitted directly through the Embracing Our Warriors national office. Each application is carefully reviewed before qualified veterans are referred to a participating orthodontist for consultation.

Orthodontic Treatment Has Some Serious Benefits
While the cosmetic benefits of adult orthodontics are definitely important, treatment can also:
- Make teeth easier to clean, reducing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease
- Help you bite and chew properly, promoting good digestion
- Allow you to speak clearly
- Reduce headaches and TMJ pain related to misalignment
- Open the airway, in some cases
- Increase resistance to oral inflammation, which is tied to various health conditions, including heart disease
- Create ideal spacing, warding off jawbone loss
- Boost your confidence and self-esteem
