What Is the Cruz Kids Club

Most parents assume that if they bring their child to an orthodontist, it means braces are coming soon

That is not how it works at Cruz Orthodontics

In fact, most kids do not need treatment right away. They just need to be monitored as they grow. That is exactly why we created the Kids Club

What Is the Cruz Kids Club

Most parents assume that if they bring their child to an orthodontist, it means braces are coming soon

That is not how it works at Cruz Orthodontics

In fact, most kids do not need treatment right away. They just need to be monitored as they grow. That is exactly why we created the Kids Club

Why the Kids Club Exists

The goal is simple

We want to catch potential issues early without starting treatment too soon

By seeing kids at a younger age, we can make sure their teeth and jaws are developing properly and avoid bigger problems later

Most Kids Do Not Need Early Treatment

This is one of the most important things for parents to understand

Only about 20 percent of kids benefit from early orthodontic treatment

The other 80 percent simply need to be monitored over time

The Kids Club gives families a structured and stress free way to do that

How the Kids Club Works

Kids in the club come in a few times per year so we can track how their smile is developing

At each visit, we keep things simple, positive, and focused on progress

And yes, we make it fun

Kids receive things like lanyards, prizes, and opportunities to be part of drawings for bigger rewards. It helps them feel like they are part of something instead of just going to an appointment

Why Kids Actually Enjoy It

Something interesting happens over time

Kids who may be nervous at their first visit start to feel comfortable and confident

By the time they are ready for treatment, they already know the office, the team, and what to expect

That makes the entire process easier for both the child and the parent

When Should Your Child Start

We typically recommend an orthodontic evaluation around age 7 or 8

But the real goal is not to start treatment. It is to understand what is happening and create a plan

The Kids Club becomes the bridge between that first visit and the right time for treatment
