Serving Those Who Served Us

Welcome To Embracing Our Warriors

Smiles are the universal language of kindness, and our mission is to bring that language to those who have sacrificed so much for our country. With every free set of braces we provide, we’re not just straightening teeth, but also restoring confidence and transforming lives. Together, let’s give our heroes a reason to smile again.

ABOUT EMBRACING OUR WARRIORS

Embracing Our Warriors is a nationwide nonprofit dedicated to restoring confidence, dignity, and opportunity for veterans with service-related disabilities and their immediate family members.

Many of the veterans we serve carry invisible wounds long after their military service has ended. For some, crooked, damaged, or neglected teeth become a daily source of embarrassment that affects their confidence, relationships, careers, and willingness to engage socially. Too often, the cost of orthodontic treatment places that confidence out of reach.

That is where Embracing Our Warriors steps in.

Through our network of compassionate orthodontists across the country, we provide life-changing orthodontic treatment at no cost to qualified veterans and their families. These dedicated providers volunteer their time, expertise, and services to help those who have sacrificed for our nation regain the confidence to smile, speak, and interact with the world without hesitation.

At the heart of our mission is a simple belief: a smile is about far more than straight teeth. It is about self-esteem, human connection, and the confidence to pursue opportunities that may have once felt out of reach.

Every transformation we celebrate is made possible by an orthodontist who chose to give back. Their generosity creates opportunities for veterans to move forward with renewed confidence, helping them feel seen, valued, and empowered.

Together, we are building a community where veterans are honored not only for their service, but through meaningful action that improves their quality of life.

Whether you are a veteran seeking assistance, an orthodontist looking to make a difference, or a supporter who believes in our mission, you are helping create something larger than orthodontic treatment.

You are helping restore confidence, rebuild dignity, and change lives—one smile at a time.

When I first met Dr. Krieger, I was going through a really tough time transitioning back from military life. I was embarrassed by my smile, so I reached out to Dr. Krieger's office for help. Out of the kindness of his heart, he offered to donate braces to me so that I could be proud of my smile. Since then, I have been able to accomplish things that I would have never imagined. Now, when I walk into a room, I feel confident and introduce myself with my head held high.
