Dr. Chad Harrington, an orthodontist practicing in his native South Bend, has joined the ‘Smile for a Lifetime’ project to help area kids.
‘Smile for a Lifetime’ is a national nonprofit group providing orthodontic care to kids who families could otherwise not afford the treatment.
Through the group, Harrington Orthodontics will award orthodontic treatment to between 6 and 10 patients from the Michiana area, an approximate value of $60,000.
“It’s an opportunity to give back to the community,” Harrington said. “I want to build the spirit of a child so they can reach their full potential.”
