As summer winds down and families prepare for a new school year, Simply Orthodontics is excited to give back to local students through our Back-to-School Supply Drive from June 2 through June 18, 2026. Donations will be dropped off to Families Forward.
We invite our patients, families, and community members to help support students in need by donating essential school supplies during regular office hours.
To make giving even more fun, anyone who donates three items from our most-needed list will be entered into a drawing to win a NeeDoh prize! It’s a simple way to make a meaningful impact while helping students start the school year with confidence and the tools they need to succeed.
At Simply Orthodontics, we believe creating healthy smiles goes beyond orthodontic treatment — it also means supporting the communities and families we serve throughout Irvine and Orange County. School supplies can be a major financial burden for many families, and every donation helps students feel prepared, empowered, and excited for the classroom.

Supporting Local Families Together
We’re proud to partner with organizations helping local students and families prepare for a successful school year. Small donations can make a big difference, especially when our community comes together.
Whether you’re visiting us for braces, Invisalign treatment, or a consultation, we encourage you to bring a few supplies and help us fill backpacks for students in need.
Thank you for helping Simply Orthodontics spread smiles both inside and outside the office this summer!
