The Healthy Start System A Natural Way to Straighten Teeth

The Healthy Start System™ is a natural way to straighten teeth that is superior to traditional orthodontics. Healthy Start prevents rather than corrects orthodontic problems. It works as well as or better than braces, plastic aligners, and surgery to achieve great results: permanently straight teeth and a beautifully natural smile.

Dr. Burrell and Dr. Marfatia are specially trained to deliver the Healthy Start System treatment to our patients at 7 Day Dental. Our specialists love that Healthy Start is a natural way to straighten teeth by using a graduated series of appliances that guide the teeth as they grow. It treats children early, is non-invasive, painless, and encourages the development or proper oral habits.

The Healthy Start System appliances work with the natural forces of facial growth and development and tooth eruption. The soft, comfortable, removable device gently expands the developing jaws while it guides the erupting teeth into their ideal 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 in straight. Additionally, the fiber bundles that anchor the permanent teeth into the mouth grow in straight and strong, so they are unlikely to become crooked—a problem that occurs frequently when braces are removed.

First Phase, Habit-Corrector:

The habit-corrector eliminates or improves the current oral habits that can damage your child’s dental health by encouraging proper swallowing and nasal breathing. He or she wears the appliance two hours each day and at night while sleeping. With a design similar to a pacifier, your child will become used to wearing a device in his or her mouth every night. This step lasts about 1 – 5 months.

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. Your child will wear this device for 2-12 months.

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. The Healthy Start appliance ensures the teeth erupt into proper alignment.
