How Does The HealthyStart® System Work?

HealthyStart® System works with the natural forces of tooth eruption. The soft, comfortable, removable devices also known as the tooth pillow gently guide the erupting teeth into their perfect positions. In addition, Healthy Start aids in the correct growth and alignment of the lower jaw, expanding the arches to ensure incoming permanent teeth have enough room to erupt straight and develop proper oral habits.

Depending On The Age Of Your Child, the system includes a series of appliances:

1. Habit Corrector®: The habit-corrector eliminates or improves current oral habits that can damage your child’s dental health. He or she wears the habit corrector at night while sleeping. With a design similar to that of a pacifier, your child will become used to wearing a device in his or her mouth every night.

2. Second Phase: Your child will get an appliance customized and sized for your child to wear every night. It aids the incoming teeth into their proper places, corrects jaw relations, and expands your child’s arches for the incoming adult teeth.

3. Final Phase: The final treatment begins with a device that accommodates incoming adult teeth. It begins when your child has at least 4 permanent teeth. This phase is extremely important because his or her adult teeth are forming and the gum tissue fibers are starting to attach the teeth in the mouth. Healthy Start works perfectly to ensure the teeth erupt into proper alignment.
