HealthyStart® with Dr. Amanda Hartman: Early Orthodontic & Sleep Solutions for Kids in Austin

At Forest Family Dentistry's Burnet Road location in Austin, TX, Dr. Amanda Hartman specializes in pediatric dentistry and is certified in the HealthyStart® system - a revolutionary, non-invasive solution for children with sleep, breathing, or early orthodontic concerns.

‍

If your child mouth breathes, snores, has crowded teeth, or struggles with poor sleep or focus, HealthyStart® in Austin may be the solution you've been looking for.

What Is HealthyStart®?

HealthyStart® is a proven early-intervention orthodontic system that uses a series of custom oral appliances designed for children and teens. These soft, comfortable devices are worn during sleep or for a few hours during the day to:

• Encourage nasal breathing
• Improve sleep quality and reduce snoring
• Guide teeth into proper alignment naturally
• Support healthy jaw, airway, and facial development
• Help prevent the need for braces or invasive treatments later

By addressing underlying oral and airway issues early, HealthyStart® supports your child's overall health, behavior, and dental development.

‍

Signs Your Child May Benefit from HealthyStart®

Parents often consult Dr. Amanda Hartman after noticing symptoms such as:

• Snoring at night
• Teeth grinding during sleep
• Persistent tiredness, even after a full night's sleep
• Difficulty focusing at school

These symptoms may be linked to mouth breathing, narrow airways, or underdeveloped jaws - conditions that HealthyStart® appliances are designed to treat.

‍

‍Additional signs your child might benefit from HealthyStart® include:

• Chronic allergies or nasal congestion
• Dark circles under the eyers ("allergic shiners")
• Restless sleep or bedwetting
• Crowding or misaligned teeth
• Open-mouth posture during the day or while sleeping

‍
