Complimentary Orthodontic Exams

The AAO (American Association of Orthodontists) recommends all children get an evaluation with an orthodontic specialist no later than age 7. Early treatment may prevent or intercept more serious problems from developing as well as make treatment at a later age shorter and less complicated.

At TK Orthodontics…Learn more about our orthodontics… in Terre Haute, IN, we’ve designed an exclusive and fun Kids Club for your little ones!

Our amazing “Smile Squad” Kids Club is our pre-orthodontic guidance program for patients ages seven and up.

This program allows us to monitor your child’s development with periodic evaluations every six to nine months.

Thanks to these complimentary evaluations, Dr. Kula is able to:

  • Intercept skeletal and dental abnormalities at an early age to guide facial growth, tooth eruptions, and positions
  • Minimize more extensive and lengthy treatment at a later age
  • Achieve results that are almost impossible once the face and jaws have finished growing

Let’s be proactive and get an early start!

Monitor. Intercept. Correct.

Dr. Kula uses early treatment to prevent problems and set your child up for a lifetime of smiles.
