How Does Healthy Start Work?

First, your child will need to be evaluated by our dentists and 3-D images will be taken to design the appliance.
Next, the proper oral appliance will be custom made for your child to ensure comfort and maximize treatment.
The appliance must be worn a few hours a day or during the night while the child sleeps to take effect.
Over time, the appliance works to...
- Promote nasal breathing and restful sleep
- Naturally widen dental arches
- Develop the jaw to optimize the airway
- Straighten teeth and correct any overbite as your child's teeth continue to grow
- Prevent TMJ disorder
- Develop a permanently positioned dentition with no relapse
