Saturday sibling stacking 9 AM to 3 PM
Families with two or three kids in braces book consecutive chair slots during the Saturday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM block. One parent trip, one waiting-room stretch, one signed progress note per child.

After-bell adjustments off I-225 Exit 9
Monday and Thursday evenings stay open until 7:00 PM, timed for Rangeview, Hinkley, and Aurora Central pickup. The office is a four-minute drive from I-225 Exit 9 at Mississippi, so a 4:15 bell means a 4:45 chair time.

Straight teeth aren't just cosmetic — they're healthier teeth.
✓
Untreated malocclusion in growing patients narrows the window where skeletal guidance — palatal expansion, functional appliances — can still shape jaw development before growth plates fuse.
✓
A broken bracket, poking archwire, or lost separator left alone for more than a few days slows tooth movement and adds months to total treatment time, which directly inflates the cost your PPO lifetime ortho maximum has to cover.
✓
Prolonged crowding and deep-bite contact wear enamel at specific cusps and raise the risk of gingival recession on lower incisors, damage that outlasts the braces themselves.

Rodeo Dental Aurora • Early Orthodontics for all ages
What's Included in Your Early Orthodontics — Aurora
Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Aurora, CO for early orthodontics:
1.
Cephalometric and panoramic records
A lateral ceph and panoramic radiograph establish skeletal class, incisor inclination, and eruption pattern of unerupted canines and second molars before any appliance is selected.
2.
Intraoral scan and digital treatment plan
A chairside intraoral scan replaces alginate impressions and feeds directly into the bracket-positioning or aligner-staging software Dr. Al-Shorji uses to map each phase of tooth movement.
3.
Bracket bonding with light-cure adhesive
Teeth are isolated, etched with phosphoric acid, primed, and each bracket is seated with a light-cured orthodontic adhesive, then an initial nickel-titanium archwire is engaged.
4.
Interarch elastics and archwire progression
Over the course of treatment, wires progress from NiTi through stainless steel rectangular, with Class II or Class III elastics added to correct the anteroposterior bite relationship.
5.
Debond, polish, and fixed lingual retainer
At the end of active treatment, brackets are removed, residual adhesive is cleared with a tungsten-carbide bur, and a bonded lingual retainer plus a clear vacuum-formed overlay retainer are delivered.

What makes our Aurora office unique for early orthodontics
Early Orthodontics for Aurora Families
Our Aurora office sits at 15022 E. Mississippi Ave., just off the I-225 corridor near the Aurora City Center light rail station and a short drive from the Town Center at Aurora mall.
Families come to us from Heather Ridge, Hampden South, and the neighborhoods tucked between East Mississippi and East Alameda — places where kids ride Cherry Creek Schools buses and parents juggle commutes up to Denver Tech Center. Orthodontics in the 80012 ZIP has to work for real schedules: middle-schoolers at Aurora Hills, high-schoolers at Rangeview and Hinkley, and working parents who can only break free on Saturdays.
We fit adjustments around bell schedules, practice times at Utah Park, and the Saturday soccer circuit at Aurora Sports Park, so orthodontic care doesn't hijack the rest of your week.
