First Consultation

Purpose of the 1st Consultation

The main objective is a specialized, careful and personalized consultation. Where the little patient is only concerned with choosing the cutest IADKids themed glasses for his consultation. In this first appointment, we try to create an empathetic bond in order to gain the patient's trust and make them feel safe in the dentist's chair.

Clinical Case #1

8-year-old patient in the growth phase with severe crowding, ongoing treatment with invisible appliances.

Clinical Case #2

Clinical case of a 4-year-old girl, in which the baby tooth was poorly positioned. This is a very important tooth as it is a guide in the growing orofacial structure. Taking advantage of the growth of the child's facial structure, this type of treatment is possible with the application of a polymeric material, these new generation materials allow you to choose colors giving a more participatory aspect, where in our 'IAD Kids' you can choose the one you like best!

This allows for correction at this age and may prevent more complex orthodontic corrections in the future.
