Four lucky teens get a 'Smile for a Lifetime'

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Four Michiana teens have a lot to smile about!

Harrington Orthodontics in South Bend fitted them for new braces on Friday, free of charge!

This was a generous donation on behalf of the 'Smile for a Lifetime' program.  It helps provide braces to children whose families cannot afford them.

Eight teens have benefitted from the program this year alone.  Dr. Chad Harrington donated $18,000 to last year's candidates for their dental work.

Dr. Harrington said he would like to award eight to 10 more scholoarships next year. 

If you would like to apply for a dental scholarship, you can review the guidelines and print off an application online.
