NYC Midtown Center for Sleep Gets Healthy Start Certified

(Newswire.net — February 7, 2018) New York City, NY — The number of children affected by sleep, breathing and obstructive airway issues is astounding. Unfortunately, these children will more than likely be plagued with health issues as adults. HealthyStart® by Ortho-Tain® has a dynamic oral appliance system that not only identifies and evaluates the problem, it treats the root cause. For these reasons, Dr. Nick M. Mobilia, DDS has extended his services to include offering the HealthyStart® System to the children in his community through his practices Koala Center for Sleep Disorders, Midtown and Elite Dental Arts in New York City, NY.

As the only Certified office in NYC, Dr. Mobilia states, “Understanding firsthand the health problems an adult with sleep and breathing issues face, integrating the HealthyStart® Appliance System into our practice for Pediatric Patients is a no brainer”.

According to statistics, pediatric sleep and breathing disorders potentially affect over 40 million children. The identification of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) is important. Evidence shows that sleep disorders interfere with physical, cognitive, emotional and social development. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, ADD / ADHD, learning difficulties, behavior issues, restless sleep, headaches, bed wetting, night terrors and swollen tonsils and adenoids. Many times, these symptoms are misdiagnosed or left untreated.

HealthyStart® by Ortho-Tain® is a 50-year company that has treated over 3.5 million cases around the world. Ortho-Tain developed the multi-faceted HealthyStart® Appliance System as a treatment that addresses the underlying root cause of Sleep Disordered Breathing. Treatment with the HealthyStart® System identifies, evaluates and addresses the airway, oral habits and improper growth and development of the pediatric patient. When started in the early growth stages there are more permanent results. This child does not have to face the same fate of health problems as the adult patient with sleep, breathing and airway issues. The icing on the cake? Straight teeth, no braces.

Education is key for both parents and doctors. Dr. Mobilia has extended his knowledge of assessing and treating pediatric airway and sleep and breathing related disorders (SBRD) with the HealthyStart™ System as a Certified Provider.
