The pediatric dentists of the Orthodontic Center of NYC, located on the Upper East Side (Manhattan, New York), offers Healthy Start™. Just as the Healthy Start™ name suggests, Healthy Start™ is a start-up system to help your child’s teeth come in properly without discomfort, and is a natural way to guide your child’s teeth to proper alignment. It works as well as or better than braces, plastic aligners, surgery, or any other option to achieve a picture-perfect, beautiful smile for your child that will last a lifetime.
- The Healthy Start System is an all-natural oral appliance therapy that addresses the root causes of “sleep-disordered breathing” in children
- Treatment with Healthy Start can commence between 2 and 12 years of age
- The Orthodontic Center of NYC recommends that treatment is best started at an earlier age (as early as 2-3 years old) when patients tend to be more compliant
- The Healthy Start™ System has been specifically designed to promote proper growth and development of the jaw and airway to optimize airflow and promote proper nasal breathing while straightening your child’s teeth
- Healthy Start™ not only addresses the root cause of Sleep Disorder Breathing – it simultaneously straightens your child’s teeth without braces
The Healthy Start™ dental system addresses health issues in children as well as straightening teeth without braces. Nine out of ten children present with at least one symptom of sleep disorder breathing. Healthy Start™ looks at the root cause of these symptoms (basically a compromised airway, a narrow arch that compromises the proper tongue position, and mouth breathing).
Symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing in your child can include:
- ADD/ADHD
- Lower IQ
- Chronic Allergies
- Aggressive Behavior
- Mouth Breathing
- Swollen Adenoids & Tonsils
- Daytime Drowsiness
- Crooked Teeth
- Restless Sleep
- Bedwetting
- Nightmares
- Dark Circles Under the Eyes
- Snoring
- Irritability
- Frequent Headaches
- Arrested Growth and /or Arrested Development
