Healthy Start Program

Give Your Child a Healthy Start: Natural Growth and Beautiful Smiles

At Harwood Dental, we understand the importance of early intervention for your child's oral health and overall well-being. That's why we're proud to offer the innovative HealthyStart® System – a non-invasive approach to promoting healthy facial development, addressing sleep issues, and even achieving straighter teeth – all without traditional braces.

Healthy Sleep, Natural Growth

Many children suffer from Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB), often presenting with symptoms like snoring or restless sleep. Left untreated, SDB can impact a child's growth, development, and sleep quality. HealthyStart® utilizes a series of comfortable, custom-made appliances to gently open the airway, potentially improving breathing patterns and promoting deeper sleep. This, in turn, can lead to:

  • Increased energy levels: Improved sleep quality can translate to a brighter, more energetic child.
  • Enhanced focus and learning: Better sleep can contribute to improved concentration and academic performance.
  • Reduced risk of health problems: Addressing SDB early may help lower the risk of associated health complications later in life.

Beyond Sleep: A Natural Path to Straight Teeth

HealthyStart® goes beyond just addressing SDB. The system's focus on promoting proper jaw growth can also create more space for teeth to erupt naturally. This can potentially reduce the need for future braces, saving you time, money, and potentially avoiding any discomfort associated with traditional orthodontic treatments.

The Healthy Start Program: A Revolutionary Approach to Sleep Apnea Treatment

The Healthy Start program provides a safe and effective solution for treating sleep apnea in children and adults. Unlike traditional treatments like CPAP machines, the Healthy Start program utilizes a comfortable, custom-made oral appliance.

How the Healthy Start Program Works

The Healthy Start program involves the following steps:

  • Consultation: During an initial consultation at Harwood Dental, the dentist will discuss your sleep concerns, review your medical history, and conduct a thorough examination.
  • Sleep Study (Optional): A sleep study may be recommended to diagnose sleep apnea and determine its severity.
  • Custom Appliance Design: If the Healthy Start program is determined to be a suitable treatment option, impressions will be taken of your teeth to create a comfortable, custom-made oral appliance.
  • Appliance Fitting and Monitoring: The dentist will carefully fit your appliance and provide instructions on its use and care. Follow-up appointments will ensure optimal comfort and treatment effectiveness.
