1967 Innovation Begins...
In 1967, Ortho-Tain was created to represent Dr. Earl Bergersen's orthodontic vision that sleep is related to oral-health. Starting with the Occlus-o-Guide, the Ortho-Tain philosophy centered around using removable, preformed appliances to help guide dental development while children are still growing.
Lately...
The HealthyStart® System features a series of appliances that are customized to your child's needs, depending their age, as well as the issues you intend on addressing.
These appliances address a range of symptoms of Sleep Disordered Breathing, such as mouth breathing, inability to focus, academic challenges, bedwetting, snoring, nightmares, underdeveloped jaw, underdeveloped airway and more.
1980s Ortho-Tain to HealthyStart
Expanding beyond tooth position, Ortho-Tain begins taking a look beyond orthodontic needs and starts to tackle the growing Sleep Disordered Breathing Epidemic. Research and deep study yield more further development of a more expansive collection of appliances.
