Every Child Deserves a Healthy Start!
We are pleased to offer the HealthyStart™ system to our patients at Dental Partners of Vero Beach. This innovative orthodontic system uses oral appliance therapy to influence the jaw as it grows and develops. This alleviates Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) issues such as snoring, grinding, and mouth breathing as well as provides an effective interceptive orthodontic treatment to reduce crowding.
In addition to addressing SDB, HealthyStart can also help straighten your child's teeth before orthodontic treatment is started. When HealthStart™ is started at a young age, it can eliminate the need for braces during adolescence, with a low risk of orthodontic relapse.
The HealthyStart™ appliance system promotes natural jaw and airway development in children with SDB, a restricted airway, and crowded or crooked teeth. The soft, comfortable device is non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical, pain-free, and non-invasive and typically only worn at night.
Research shows that SDB-induced oxygen deprivation can contribute to a wide range of children’s health issues, from frequent headaches to aggression. Sleep Disorder Breathing in children can be remedied through optimizing airflow and shifting them from mouth breathing to nose breathing. Instead of treating the symptoms, HealthStart™ can address and resolve the underlying causes, allowing your child to feel better both physically and emotionally.
The team at Dental Partners of Vero Beach can evaluate your child to assess whether breathing or sleep issues may be negatively impacting their health and behavior and HealthyStart can help your child breathe easier.
