What Is HealthyStart®?

HealthyStart® is an innovative early-intervention orthodontic system that uses a series of soft, custom oral appliances for children and teens. These comfortable devices are worn at night or for a few hours 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
• Help prevent the need for braces, extractions, or invasive treatments later

By addressing airway and alignment issues early, HealthyStart® supports not just your child's dental health but also their overall growth, behavior, and long-term wellness.
