Breakthrough: HealthyStart® Introduces new Innovative Technology of the FasTrack System

Read about how The Healthy Start Pulsator device allows for more growth and development, can assess sleep, breathing , and orthodontic issues, and has the capacity for built-in myofunctional therapy that eliminates the need for daytime exercises.

800x400 healthystartThe FasTrack system represents a major advancement in treating Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) through the HealthyStart Pulsator device. It eliminates the need for daytime exercises, requiring only a 5-minute session before sleep and nighttime wear. Additionally, the system includes a customized adjunct device, designed specifically for each patient, to enhance the treatment’s effectiveness. Both devices are key components of HealthyStart’s comprehensive 5-Prong System, known as FasTrack.

HealthyStart’s FasTrack addresses SDB with a five-prong approach:

  1. Comprehensive Patient Evaluation: This involves a thorough assessment of breathing, orthodontic, and sleep issues to identify the root causes of SDB.
  2. Built-In Myofunctional Therapy: This therapy, activated by swallowing, operates throughout the night to improve oral function and airway health.
  3. 5-Minute Pulsator Compliance Device: This innovation simplifies therapy by removing the need for daytime exercises, making it easier for patients to comply with the treatment.
  4. Customized Adjuncts: Tailored specifically for each patient, these adjuncts are designed to provide appropriate expansion and distalization based on individual needs.
  5. Significant Growth and Development: Research indicates that HealthyStart patients experience 54% more growth and development compared to control groups, demonstrating the system’s effectiveness.

HealthyStart by OrthoTain, a pioneer in orthodontic devices, has been addressing orthodontic conditions for over 57 years. With over 5 million successful cases, they have extensive research and a deep understanding of the breathing and sleep issues affecting many patients. The recent introduction of the Pulsator and customized adjuncts aims to resolve previous treatment challenges and enhance patient success.

Key Points from Patient and Doctor Feedback

  • Difference from Traditional Orthodontic Treatment: The FasTrack system evaluates all related issues, including habitual problems, growth deficiencies, and orthodontic conditions linked to SDB.
  • Comparison with RPE: While a Rapid Palatal Expander (RPE) can improve nasal breathing, it doesn’t address tongue posture and swallowing habits. Unlike HealthyStart’s FasTrack Adjuncts used with the HealthyStart devices to provide comprehensive expansion, distalization, and internal myofunctional therapy and never compromises tongue placement.
  • Arch Width Expansion: Generic standards like a minimum 40 mm arch width can be misleading. HealthyStart emphasizes customized assessments to avoid complications such as teeth being pushed outside the cortical bone and potential gum and bone
  • Types of Expansion: Understanding sagittal versus transverse expansion and distalization is crucial. HealthyStart provides digital and live courses to educate providers on these concepts.
  • Eliminating Exercise Stress: By integrating myofunctional therapy with the Pulsator, the system reduces the need for additional exercises, minimizing stress for children and parents.

Nationwide Educational Campaign

HealthyStart will launch a $1 million educational marketing campaign in September to raise SDB awareness, which affects 40 million children in the US. The campaign aims to boost public interest, increase office inquiries, and elevate provider requests. Current providers have received training, and new doctors can register for a digital course on October 28th, with a special offer of $500 off and a free FasTrack treatment for one patient.

HealthyStart continues to lead the industry with innovative technology to enhance treatment for sleep and breathing issues. Their mission is to ensure no child is left behind, and their investment in education is designed to improve health outcomes and treatment efficacy for children affected by SDB.

Dental professionals can join Healthy Start in their mission to educate parents and other professionals who interact with children about the connection between sleep-breathing disorders and other childhood conditions.
