FREE Pre-Orthodontic Program For Children Ages 4-7
Shehee & Callahan Family Orthodontics is proud to announce a new program – B4 Braces Kidz Club. It is a program specifically designed for those patients who are not quite ready for orthodontic treatment. It’s never too early to start kids on the way to a future full of healthy smiles!
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist by the age of seven. We like to see patients even younger than that so that their families know what to plan on in the future. Pre-Orthodontic guidance offers many benefits including enabling us to monitor a child’s development, make sure baby teeth are coming out on time and that permanent teeth are able to grow into proper position, intercept any abnormalities at an early age and minimize extensive and lengthy treatment later on.
This new B-4 Braces Kidz Club is an exclusive club for our patients in the waiting phase before orthodontics and it allows Drs. Shehee and Callahan to evaluate your child’s orthodontic growth and development, watching for the proper time to begin treatment. While your child is in this phase, all the appointments and progress x-rays are complimentary.
We want your child to meet the doctors in a relaxed, fun setting before they need any actual treatment. This club is our way of helping young children develop good dental habits that will improve not only their dental health, but the overall health of their body.
So How Does The B4 Braces Kidz Klub Work?
- At your first appointment, you will receive an exclusive B-4 Braces Kidz Klub welcome package which includes a Kidz Klub t-shirt, DNA/Fingerprint ID Kit, Information on tooth development and dental hygiene and more!
