Customizing check boxes

By default, MATLAB places the label of a check-box to the right of the associated check-box. To make the check-box align with other controls, I would like to place the check-box to the right of it's label. Is there a way to do this without creating a separate label (static text box), or having to dig into the Java code?

MATLAB Default:
[Checkbox] Label

What I want:
Label [Checkbox]

I am using MATLAB 2013A on Windows XP SP3.
I am NOT using GUIDE to build my interface.
