HealthyStart® in Austin, TX with Dr. Amanda Hartman

Early Orthodontic & Sleep Solutions for Kids

‍

At Forest Family Dentistry on Burnet Road in Austin, pediatric dentist Dr. Amanda Hartman specializes in airway focused dentistry and provides the HealthyStart® system, a revolutionary, non invasive treatment for children with sleep, breathing, or early orthodontic concerns. HealthyStart® helps guide proper development and supports long term health by addressing problems early in childhood.

What Is HealthyStart®?

HealthyStart® is an innovative orthodontic system that uses a series of soft, custom made oral appliances for children and teens. These comfortable appliances are worn at night or for short periods during the day to:

• Encourage proper nasal breathing
• Improve sleep quality and reduce snoring
• Guide teeth into natural alignment without braces
• Support healthy jaw, airway, and facial development
• Reduce the likelihood of braces, extractions, or invasive treatment later

By treating airway and alignment issues early, HealthyStart® supports not only dental health but also childhood growth, sleep quality, behavior, and overall wellness.
