HealthyStart® 

Our doctors are trained to evaluate not only teeth, but also each child's growth and development. In order to assist children with certain habits and/or sleep issues, we have partnered with HealthyStart® to provide nighttime appliances for children starting as early as two to three years old. The HealthyStart® nighttime appliance called the Habit Corrector® eliminates or improves current oral habits that can damage a child's dental health. The Habit Corrector® is worn at night while sleeping in order to address symptoms of Sleep Disordered Breathing by developing the jaw and airway, promoting nasal breathing, protecting from grinding, correcting tongue thrust, and eliminating oral habits (finger sucking, thumb sucking, pacifier use).
