Dental Healthy Start Program

Overland Park, KS, dentist offers the Healthy Start Dental Program for children

Overland Park, KS area parents who are interested in giving their children a great start in their dental journey, can ask Dr. Shane Nelson and his team about the benefits of his specialized program called the Healthy Start Dental Program. Children in the area can achieve better oral development by working with our team and ensuring a proper foundation for a healthier smile!

What is the Healthy Start Dental System?

The Healthy Start Dental Program is a method of treating the smile in the earlier phases to ensure proper development of the jaw and teeth. This program uses a specialized oral appliance that children can wear to help expand the arches to encourage proper growth and alignment of the permanent teeth. It can be used to avoid the need for orthodontic treatment later on while at the same time optimizing airflow for proper breathing, which makes it a great solution for children with certain sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea.

What conditions can be treated with the Heathy Start Dental Program?

Shane Nelson often recommends the use of these FDA-approved appliances to help treat:

  • Improper jaw and facial development
  • Poor tongue placement
  • Tongue thrusting
  • Bite-related issues
  • Thumb-sucking and other oral habits
  • Problems with proper swallowing
