Kadar Orthodontics: Scholarships, Smiles & Giving Back
At Kadar Orthodontics, creating healthy, confident smiles is just the beginning. For more than 30 years, Dr. Tom Kadar and his team have built a reputation as South Jersey’s trusted orthodontist — combining advanced care with a true commitment to their community. Through the Kadar Scholarship and ongoing charitable programs, Team Kadar gives back in meaningful ways that go far beyond braces and aligners.

The Kadar Scholarship: Investing in Education
Every year, Kadar Orthodontics awards scholarships to two graduating high school seniors who are current or former patients. Each recipient earns $1,500 toward college or technical school — helping families offset costs while celebrating academic achievements, leadership, and community service. Past winners have gone on to pursue careers in fields like medicine, engineering, and science, showing how the scholarship creates lasting impact in the community.

Kadar Giving Back: Supporting South Jersey Charities
Throughout the year, Team Kadar actively supports their community through by collecting donations for causes like Mothers Matter, Robin’s Nest, Alex’s Lemonade, Toys for Tots and Pop’s Dream.

The Kadar Institute brings dental education programs into local schools, teaching kids and families about oral health and early orthodontic care. Through this program, Team Kadar helps children of all ages understand the importance of caring for their teeth.
