The HealthyStart® System offers an advanced, noninvasive way to guide children’s oral development and support long-term health. Rather than waiting for problems to appear and then trying to correct them, HealthyStart in Sandy, Utah, works with your child’s natural growth process to promote optimal facial and airway development. As a result, many future issues — such as crowded teeth, narrow arches or even certain breathing and behavioral problems — may be avoided entirely.
Encouraging Proper Growth & Breathing Early On
This treatment system is designed to be worn at night and for a few hours during the day, using soft, comfortable oral appliances that are easy for children to tolerate. These appliances help guide the teeth into proper alignment while encouraging nasal breathing, tongue posture and the ideal development of the upper and lower jaws. The ultimate goal is to create an open airway and a healthy oral structure that supports restful sleep and proper function.
Many children today experience the effects of underdeveloped jaws and poor oral habits. Mouth breathing, snoring, teeth grinding and even signs of attention issues may be linked to airway obstructions and narrow dental arches. By addressing these issues in childhood — often as early as age 4 to 6—the HealthyStart System offers a preventive path forward. It treats the root causes of problems, not just the symptoms, which helps minimize the need for braces or surgical interventions in the future.
More Than Just Straight Teeth
While one of the clear benefits of HealthyStart is straighter teeth without orthodontic treatment, the system offers much more. Children with well-developed arches and open airways tend to sleep more soundly, breathe more efficiently and focus better throughout the day. They may also have fewer headaches, less teeth grinding and more balanced facial development. HealthyStart is not just about dental alignment — it is about supporting whole-body wellness through a healthy airway and proper facial growth.
Parents often appreciate that the system uses no drugs, no surgery and no invasive procedures. It works in harmony with how your child’s body is meant to grow. Best of all, the treatment is backed by decades of research and clinical success.
