TOgether Project

Total Orthodontics is well known for our philanthropic endeavors in the community. TOgether Project, LLC is the community-giving arm of Total Orthodontics.   Through TOgether Project (TOP), we administer our two primary community outreach programs — TO Smiles and TO Gives. Through TO Smiles, we give away free braces and pediatric dental care to underserved youth, and through TO Gives, we organize volunteer opportunities for our patient base. 

A unique and defining aspect of TOgether Project is that it was created by and is administered by a Board of Directors comprised entirely of high school students representing 9 different high schools.  The Board works closely with our doctors and team.  We have been serving the Denver area since early 2019.  This is teen leadership at its finest!  Each March, we invite patients to apply to be on our Board of Directors, so watch your email!

Our TOgether Project Mission

TOgether Project (TOP) values the energy and ideas of young people.  We believe that if you cultivate kindness, it will grow. Our TOP youth leaders create opportunities for personal growth through community service projects with TO Gives, and connect children in need to free orthodontic treatment through TO Smiles.

Media Recognition for our Philanthropies

We have been featured on Channels 4, 7, and 9  in recognition of our philanthropic work in our community.

Dr. Theroux has also been chosen to receive the 7Everyday Hero Award from 7NEWS, the ABC network affiliate in Denver. The Channel 7Everyday Hero Award is given to Coloradans who initiate solutions, motivate others, represent or serve working families, and work on a non-profit basis.

Being a recipient of free braces through TO Smiles and later serving on the TOP Board was such a wonderful experience for me. I can confidently say that this leadership position was instrumental in me obtaining a full-ride to Colorado College as the Dean of Admissions specifically mentioned how highly they thought of the work we did through TOP! From being a recipient of free braces through TO Smiles to later serving on the board with other young leaders in Colorado has changed my life. I am beyond grateful to Total Orthodontics and to know Dr. Theroux and Dr. Barefoot. These people care deeply about others and invest so much of themselves to enhance lives. They have been great role models to me and have helped set my feet on the right path to continue growing as a good person, student, and community member!
