Orthodontic scholarships

Dr. Black is aware of the need for assistance within our area and that is why he founded the Black Gives Back orthodontic scholarship program.

Our mission:

It is our mission to create self-confidence, inspire hope, and change the lives of children in our community in a dramatic way. The gift of a smile can do all this for a deserving, under-served individual who, in turn, can use this gift to better themselves and our community.

Qualifications:

Candidates applying must meet the following qualifications: cannot currently be wearing braces, have good oral hygiene and no unfilled cavities, have a moderate/severe need for braces, must follow and be compliant with the treatment plan set forth by Dr. Black, reside in Buncombe County, be 7-21 years of age, and be willing to have your before and after orthodontic treatment photos on our website and social media accounts (Facebook + Instagram). Treatment will not include procedures that are needed from a specialist such as tooth extractions. The patient will be responsible for covering this if needed

*NOTE: You do not need to schedule a consultation to apply for the Black Gives Back scholarship. Application can be mailed or emailed to admin@kblacksmiles.com.
