Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does the HealthyStart® System work?
The HealthyStart® System helps guide the natural eruption of your child’s teeth. The soft, comfortable, removable devices gently guide the teeth into proper alignment as they come in. Additionally, HealthyStart® assists in the proper growth and alignment of the lower jaw, expanding the arches to ensure enough space for incoming permanent teeth.
-
How can HealthyStart® improve my child's health?
The HealthyStart® appliances open the airway and allow for maximum airflow, allowing children to sleep
deeper and more relaxed. This can improve grades, increase focus, and improve behavior, while also straightening teeth. -
What makes HealthyStart® different than conventional treatments?
HealthyStart® provides a permanent solution for Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) by addressing its root cause through FDA-cleared appliances that expand and develop the airway in children. These appliances, designed by Dr. Bergersen, who holds over 500 patents, are worn primarily at night and offer proactive and lasting results, improving overall health. The treatment has significantly improved children’s lives, including reduced reliance on prescription drugs, better sleep, and enhanced focus in school.
