A natural way to get your child breathing better so they can THRIVE!
_edited.png

Dr.Fallon has been a certified HealthyStart® provider for close to 5 years. She is one of only two HealthyStart® providers in all of Western Massachusetts!!! She has helped many children have proper tongue function, breathe better and be happier! The only side effect is STRAIGHTER TEETH! 

 

She got interested in HealthyStart®when her own son (then 5 years old) had many of the symptoms of sleep disordered breathing. She was at her witts end and thought maybe this could help. With great compliance, it sure did!  

 

He went through treatment and started breathing better with better tongue positioning. This helped him stop grinding his teeth, have better attention at school and sports, start growing more on track and stop bed wetting! 

 

With her personal experience to guide her, Dr.Fallon has helped many children and their families breathe easier!

Upper Inscisros erupting straight w/space

Lateral Insciosrs erupting- straight"ish"

A tongue tie release was necessary in this case. healthystart®treatment was continued during myofunctional treatment. 

We have seen the following resolutions:

  • Now in the 80% for height/weight

  • Immediate cessation of bedwetting after frenectomy

  • Better grades and reports from school

  • Nasal breathes

  • Eats at a normal pace

  • Less tooth crowding (less time he will spend in braces)

  • Correct overbite and overjet

  • Adult teeth are not wearing flat

  • Smile doesn't show too much gum

  • Sleeps soundly 

  • Eyes look bright and clear of allergic shiners

     

***Disclaimer***
healthystart® does not always take the place of braces and a trained Orthodontist, but can certainly minimize time in braces!!
