HealthyStart® in Austin, TX with Dr. Amanda Hartman

At Forest Family Dentistry on Burnet Road, pediatric dentist Dr. Amanda Hartman provides airway-focused care and offers the HealthyStart® system in Austin, Texas. This non-invasive approach helps children with early orthodontic concerns, mouth breathing, snoring, and sleep-related issues.

‍

HealthyStart® supports proper growth and development by helping children breathe better, sleep better, and develop healthier smiles.

What Is HealthyStart®?

HealthyStart® is an early orthodontic system that uses a series of soft, custom oral appliances for children and teens. These appliances are typically worn at night or for short periods during the day to support healthy development.

‍

HealthyStart® can help:

• Encourage proper nasal breathing
• Improve sleep quality and reduce snoring
• Guide teeth into natural alignment without braces
• Support healthy jaw and facial development
• Reduce the need for braces or extractions later

By addressing airway and alignment concerns early, HealthyStart® supports both dental development and overall wellness.
