FAS Kids and Teens:

A journey through Invisible Orthodontic Treatments for growing patients

80% of orthodontic treatments could be avoided if treated at early ages before the malocclusion sets in. FAS KIDS aims to maintain or restore the natural functional balance of the mouth and the rest of the body in growing patients. FAS Kids splints treatment is especially designed to correct patients’ malocclusions, both in primary as in mixed dentition, that is between 5 and 12 years old. Thanks to 3D technology FAS Kids splints are custom made and are adapted as the patient grows.

FAS Kids Splints are made with a special material that adapts perfectly to the dental anatomy, thus avoiding discomfort of conventional devices.

FAS Kids splints are a real alternative to conventional treatment of orthodontic problems in growing patients since they are really comfortable, they do not cause wounds or sores, they reduce the risk of cavities, facilitate patient hygiene, allow them to be removed to eat, do not make speech difficult, reduce the risk of dental fractures and increase the patient self-esteem.
