Proud to Support Veterans & Their Kids
At Shine Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we’re honored to partner with Embracing Our Warriors, a nonprofit organization that connects veterans and their families with life-changing orthodontic care.
Through this national program, Dr. Lauren Carlson and Dr. Mike Seelig proudly provide free orthodontic treatment to qualifying veterans and their children, right here in Gallatin.
How It Works
When a veteran or their child applies through Embracing Our Warriors, the organization reviews their eligibility and refers them to a local provider, like our team at Shine Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics. If accepted, patients receive full orthodontic treatment at no cost.
Who’s Eligible?
To qualify for the program, applicants must meet the following:
- Honorably discharged from the military
- Have a documented service-related disability
- Show financial need (family income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level)
- Be in good dental health
- Have a moderate to severe orthodontic need
- Not currently in orthodontic treatment
The program is open to veterans and their immediate family members (such as children).
