Description
Treatment using removable FAS KIDS splints is specially designed for children aged 5 to 12 years. FAS KIDS allows intervention before malocclusion develops in deciduous, mixed
and young permanent dentition. The goal of FAS KIDS is to maintain or restore the natural functional balance in the oral cavity of young patients from an early age.
Many orthodontic problems can be prevented by early intervention, even before malocclusion develops.
