Bite Down Early - Brochure with Ruler To Test Malocclusion

Bite Down Early
The CAO's Bite Down Early kit is designed to help the public understand the advantages of orthodontic detection and treatment.

The kit has been field tested nationally and found to be simple to use and most effective: just tear off the ruler and place against the lower front teeth to determine the extent of malocclusion.

The complete Bite Down Early brochure is available online.

Orthodontists may want to include a link to the kit from their Web sites.
