As pioneers in the development of these guidance appliances, with over 5 million children benefiting from treatment, Kidlet employs the most comprehensive approach rooted in a proven track record of success. Utilizing an extensive dataset accumulated over years of care, we meticulously evaluate each child so Kidlet-affiliated dentists can deliver thorough and informed care.

hese X-rays reveal structural issues in the mouth, jaw, and teeth and help formulate accurate treatment plans tailored to individual needs. This essential diagnostic data helps us understand each individual case and leads to more effective interventions.

The duration of treatment varies depending on the age when treatment begins and the severity of the case. Your Kidlet-affiliated dentist will offer treatment goals and provide an approximate timeframe for the treatment process. 

You can typically expect to see results within three to six month—sometimes even sooner depending on the unique circumstances of each case.

Kidlet-affiliated dentists have extensive knowledge in eruption guidance appliances and sleep-disordered breathing and take a patient-centered approach to dentistry by working as a team to ensure success. They provide ongoing monitoring and support from the beginning until the end of treatment.

Based on the child's age, appliances are typically worn primarily at night. Occasionally, treatment plans may include an additional 20 minutes of wear before bedtime.

Kidlet’s unique design incorporates myofunctional therapy exercises with regular wear. These specific exercises are activated by a swallow. Wearing the appliance at night provides for over 500 exercises each night.

Kidlet appliances feature a secure design that ensures that the child cannot swallow or choke on the appliance. These appliances have been safely used by more than 5 million children.

By allowing the incoming permanent teeth to grow in straight, fiber bundles will naturally develop to anchor the permanent teeth into the mouth so that there may be little to no relapse. The permanent teeth have grown in straight and will usually stay that way!

Research has shown that children do not typically grow out of orthodontic problems. If baby teeth are crowded or crooked, permanent teeth may be, too. In fact, many problems often get worse as children grow, and the options for treatment become fewer as children get older and their mouths and bones mature.

Perfectly aligned baby teeth may not provide enough room for larger permanent teeth to erupt into the spaces left by the loss of the smaller teeth. Many times, permanent teeth must rotate to fit. The Kidlet system guides the eruption of permanent teeth into predetermined slots in the Kidlet appliance, ensuring not only that they come in straight but also allowing for the natural expansion of the arch of the mouth.

Appliances are designed to fit teeth once all of them have been guided into position. It's normal if the sockets don't align initially, but rest assured, they will by the end of the process.

It's typical for some discomfort to occur during the first few days, but once the child wears the appliance consistently, discomfort should diminish.
