Thousands of children across the United States have
something to smile about because of the generosity
of Virginia Brown. As a child, Brown endured years of
teasing and ridicule from her peers because of her
crooked teeth. She hated to have her picture taken and
rarely smiled. This experience aff ected her so deeply
she vowed that someday she would take action to help
children in need.
In 1983, The Virginia and Maurice Brown Foundation,
Bite correction and space closure was obtained.
Th e patient completed treatment and was debonded in
April 2022 (Fig. 7).
I was proud to work with Smiles Change Lives to complete
with donor-advised funds at the Greater Kansas City
Community Foundation, was formed. In 1997 it was
changed to The Virginia Brown Community Orthodontic
Partnership and has since evolved into Smiles Change
Lives (SCL), a nonprofit organization that serves
children nationwide. The partnership between SCL and
orthodontists around the country has given more than
16,000 children new smiles, renewed hope and restored
self-esteem.
The Brown family continues to pave the way in
creating access to orthodontic care with a cadre of
staff , volunteers and more than 750 orthodontists
nationwide. This partnership enlists SCL to do the
upfront work, which includes an in-depth selection
process as well as matching children in need with
area orthodontists. This also allows the orthodontists
to do what they do best-creating beautiful and
functional smiles.

this patient's treatment, along with many others. I would also
like to express our appreciation to the Smiles Change Lives
partners-particularly American Orthodontics for its generous
donation of supplies used in this case. OT
Dr. Bryan Nakfoor is the owner orthodontist of NAK4 Orthodontics
(nak4smiles.com), a practice with three locations in the northwest
suburbs of Chicago. Nakfoor earned an engineering degree at the
University of Michigan, and later returned to the same university's
dental school to earn his dental and orthodontic degrees.
After working as an associate orthodontist in the Chicago area for
years, Nakfoor purchased his first practice in 2009. As it grew, his
core values became the driving force behind an overall vision he
calls the " Journey to 10,000 Smiles, " which included partnering with
Smiles Change Lives to help children in need.
