The RAO
Kids Club
Welcome to the RAO Kids Club!
Our free Kids Club is made just for younger kids and future patients, because the fun starts before braces ever do.
With games, surprises, and a space just for them, we make every visit something they’ll look forward to.
Healthy Smiles Grow at RAO
Did you know the American Association of Orthodontists recommends a child’s first orthodontic checkup by age 7?
That doesn’t mean your child will need braces right away. In fact, many children aren’t ready for orthodontic treatment at age 7, and that’s perfectly normal.
The first visit helps us see how your child’s teeth and jaws are developing so we can guide their smile as they grow.
And if treatment isn’t needed yet, your child will get to join something fun…
The RAO Kids Club!
What is the RAO Kids Club?
Our Kids Club (also called an orthodontic observation club) is designed for children who are not quite ready for braces or orthodontic treatment yet.
Instead of starting treatment too early, we simply monitor their smile as they grow.
Your child will visit us about every 6 months or so for a complimentary check-up, where we’ll evaluate their smile development and make sure everything is progressing as expected.
We monitor things like:
- Tooth eruption
- Jaw growth
- Bite alignment
- Spacing and crowding
If the time comes when orthodontic treatment would help your child’s smile, we’ll guide you through the next steps.
Until then, we simply keep watching that smile grow!
Making Kids Orthodontic Visits Fun
At Rogers & Andrews Orthodontics, we want your child to feel comfortable and excited about visiting the orthodontist!

Peace of Mind for Parents
One of the biggest benefits of joining our kids club is peace of mind. You won’t have to wonder if your child’s teeth are developing properly.
You’ll know that Dr. Andrews, your board-certified children’s orthodontist in Augusta and Grovetown, is keeping an eye on their smile as they grow.
We consider it a privilege to be part of your child’s journey, helping guide their smile development and letting you know if anything needs attention.
When will my child need braces?
Every smile grows differently. Some children need early orthodontic treatment at age 6 or 7, while others may be ready around 10 or 11. Others may not need treatment at all!
By monitoring your child’s smile through our Kids Club, we can ensure treatment begins only when it will be most effective.
This approach helps create the best possible results while avoiding unnecessary or premature treatment.
When should I schedule my child's first orthodontist appointment?
If your child is around age 6 or 7, it’s the perfect time for their first orthodontic visit.
Even if everything looks great right now, an early evaluation allows us to:
- Monitor future smile development
- Catch potential issues early
- Give you guidance on what to expect as your child grows
Most importantly, it helps ensure your child’s smile is growing healthy and strong.

At Rogers & Andrews Orthodontics, our board-certified children’s orthodontist and RAO team love helping young smiles grow with confidence.
