Straighten Teeth
The HealthyStart System promotes the natural growth of teeth into their corrent alignments. Unlike many clear aligners, HealthyStart appliances are completely non-invasive and work the natural erruption of teeth.
Increase Focus
Our appliances aid in opening the airway and shifting the jaw forward, all while straightening teeth and guiding them into their correct alignments. Regular clear aligners do not address the underdeveloped jaw and force the the teeth into alignment.
Set your child up for a healthy jaw and teeth. Dr. Yamashiro offers the HealthyStart appliance to children with the proprietary, non-invasive, process. The goal is to grow and guide the teeth and jaw into healthy alignment versus taking corrective measures later in life.
