Meet Our Expert

Dr. Earl Bergersen, our founder and Chief Clinical Officer, is a board-certified orthodontist and former Northwestern University professor. Since creating his first braceless system in 1967, he has focused on early care to support developing smiles and better breathing.

Building on HealthyStart®’s foundation of research and innovation, Kidlet brings this approach directly to families through teledentistry.

Our mission is simple: make comfortable, affordable care accessible to help children breathe better, sleep better, and smile with confidence.
