Better Sleep For Your Child And You With Healthy Start in Woodland Hills

Sleep-disordered breathing can have many long-term effects on a child. Our Healthy Start dental program can help your child avoid many of these conditions.

Sleep apnea, snoring, bedwetting, and even ADD in children can make it hard for them to sleep uninterrupted throughout the night—and a pretty big part of that for them is from something as simple as their tongue placement, jaw alignment, and breathing at night. At Complete Health Dentistry, we work on these issues head-on with Healthy Start, the amazingly easy and effective mouth appliance that your child can wear at night.

Our Healthy Start treatment utilizes a soft, comfortable, and completely removable device that gently guides incoming teeth into the proper position. Harnessing the force of the tongue to move the upper jaw’s arch in a forward direction, it also helps develop effective swallowing habits and opens up the airways in the throat.

Healthy Start is convenient and easy for your child to use by themselves, only needing to be worn for 2 hours a day and during the night. It’s also incredibly fast-acting. You’ll see noticeable improvements in as little as 2 weeks with your kids waking up fresher in the morning without any interruptions or restlessness while sleeping.

The best part of this treatment is that starting as early as 5 years old, we can correct your child’s smile without ever needing braces or clear aligners when they grow older. We line up their jaw nicely so that their incoming adult teeth are always ready to come in just where they should without any overcrowding or crookedness.

At Complete Health Dentistry, we take great pride in looking after our patients' oral health and how it affects their overall health. Our amazing children’s dental team is excited to be the first dentists in Woodland Hills and the surrounding greater Los Angeles area to offer the Healthy Start Program. We firmly believe that proper development leads to straighter teeth and easier breathing! Call us at (818) 225-0046 to get started today!

How Healthy Start Supports Your Child’s Development

Here are three key ways this treatment improves sleep, health, and growth.

Encourages Proper Jaw and Teeth Alignment

Healthy Start gently guides incoming teeth into their correct positions while helping the jaw develop to its ideal shape. This early correction reduces the likelihood of overcrowding, misalignment, and the need for braces later on, all while promoting a healthier bite.

Improves Airway Health for Better Sleep

By expanding and supporting the airway, Healthy Start helps children breathe more easily while they sleep. This can reduce or eliminate issues like snoring, mouth breathing, and sleep apnea, giving your child more restful nights and better energy throughout the day.

Enhances Overall Well-Being and Confidence

Better breathing and sleep have wide-reaching benefits, including improved focus, behavior, and mood. Healthy Start can also improve speech clarity, reduce bedwetting, and give your child a healthier, more confident smile, boosting both self-esteem and social comfort.

Helping Your Child Thrive Beyond the Dental Chair

Early intervention makes a lifelong difference.

Healthy Start treatment is about much more than improving teeth—it supports your child’s overall development. Addressing airway and alignment issues early can positively influence everything from academic performance to emotional health. Quality sleep and proper breathing help children grow stronger, concentrate better, and feel more confident in daily activities.

Parents also benefit from the peace of mind that comes with knowing their child is getting preventive care that reduces the risk of more complex treatments in the future. Regular check-ins allow the dentist to track progress, make adjustments, and ensure that the appliance continues to meet your child’s needs.

By taking action now, you are setting the stage for a lifetime of healthier habits, better sleep, and a smile that reflects your child’s full potential.

- Cures sleep disordered breathing: Whether it’s sleep apnea, snoring, or mouth breathing in children, Healthy Start can treat these problems at the heart by properly opening up and developing their airways from a young age, permanently solving your child’s sleep troubles for good.
- Sleep peacefully throughout the night: Without any interruptions at night, both you and your child can get a good night’s rest. Great sleep helps with a child’s physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.
- Clear and confident speech: By correcting your child’s oral alignment, you can improve their speech and their self-esteem.
- Better focus and academic achievement: Studies have indicated fantastic academic advantages among kids that are getting a consistent good night’s rest, with specific improvements being noted in math, science, and spelling categories.
- Improves your child’s overall health: Good breathing can decrease the risk of cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, and low blood flow to the lungs by opening the airways and increasing oxygen levels at night.
