Not ready for orthodontics?
The Kirk Ortho Kids Club for Ages 7 and up
Give your child the best chance for a healthy, confident smile.
Not every child needs orthodontic treatment when they see us for their first orthodontic screening, but every child benefits from expert monitoring. That’s why we created the Kirk Ortho Kids Club—a complimentary growth and development monitoring program for kids who aren’t quite ready to begin treatment yet.
The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic evaluation by age 7, even if no obvious issues are present. At this age, we can detect hidden concerns with jaw growth, bite alignment, and tooth development—many of which aren’t visible to parents or even monitored by general dentists.
Regular check-ins at no cost to track your child’s smile as they grow
Early detection of concerns like crowding, bite issues, or missing teeth before they become more complex
Guidance on the best time to start treatment—ensuring it’s as effective and efficient as possible
Peace of mind for parents (and their general dentist), knowing their child’s orthodontic health is in expert hands
Book a consultation today and let’s make sure their smile is on the right track!
