Give Back a Smile
What is the Give Back a Smile program?
It is an opportunity to provide free orthodontic treatment to a child whose family cannot afford care.
This is a charitable initiative to help families who may not have the means to afford orthodontic treatment – by offering one child each year the chance to receive free orthodontic care. Dr. Monica Gawlik is proud to give back to our community and provide a child the chance to smile with confidence.
What Does the Program Include?
The selected child will receive orthodontic care at no cost, including:
- A full orthodontic exam and personalized treatment plan
- Orthodontic records, including x-rays
- Braces, aligners and/or any appliances as recommended by Dr. Gawlik
- Adjustment appointments over the course of treatment
- One set of retainers

We welcome applications from families who:
- Have a child from 7-18 years of age
