What is the HealthyStart System?

The HealthyStart System is a natural, non-drug, and non-surgical treatment. It's only provided by specially trained dentists. The system uses comfortable oral appliances. These appliances are worn for a few hours each day or while your child sleeps. They help with sleep-disordered breathing and promote nasal breathing.


The appliances also widen the dental arches and help develop the jaw. At the same time, they straighten teeth in a natural way.

  • Comfortable, easy-to-wear appliances
  • Improves breathing and jaw development
  • Straightens teeth without braces
