Testimonials

What our users say

My 6-year-old daughter learned to breathe better through her nose and position her tongue correctly; her teeth gradually aligned better, and her smile is much nicer now. Thank you Panda!

Marie D.

Mom of Lisa, 6 years old

PandaSmile has truly helped us on a daily basis, like having a coach at home: my 8-year-old son breathes better, does his exercises more regularly, and his crooked teeth have improved significantly.

Helena S

Mom of Maxime, 8 years old

My son Jonas, 10 years old, had a quite visible open bite and we did not really know how to help him daily. With PandaSmile and the functional appliance, he gradually picked up good habits: breathing better, positioning his tongue correctly, doing his exercises regularly. Honestly, we saw a real difference — the open bite progressively corrected itself and Jonas is much more comfortable with his smile.

Max G

Dad of Jonas, 10 years old

Thanks to PandaSmile, my daughter Emma no longer fears going to the orthodontist. The exercises feel like games to her, and we have already noticed her breathing improving after just a few weeks.

Camille L.

Mom of Emma, 7 years old

As a dentist, I recommend PandaSmile to all my young patients. The gamified approach keeps children motivated and the progress tracking helps parents stay involved. A real game-changer in functional orthodontics.

Pediatric dentist, Lyon

We were struggling with my son Hugo tongue thrust habit for years. Since using PandaSmile, he has learned to place his tongue correctly and his speech has improved dramatically. Cannot recommend it enough!

FAQ

PandaSmile is an application dedicated to functional education. Under the control of a healthcare practitioner, it supports children in their daily exercises to improve breathing, tongue position, swallowing, and functional habits that influence jaw development and tooth alignment.

PandaSmile is designed for children receiving functional education, their parents, and practitioners who want to better support their patients between appointments. The app helps make daily exercises simpler, more regular, and more motivating.

No. PandaSmile does not replace diagnosis, follow-up, or advice from a healthcare professional. The app is a support tool designed to help children apply the recommendations given in the office in a more fun and regular way. It is not a medical device and should always be used in conjunction with the care provided by the healthcare professional.

Because the success of functional education depends heavily on cooperation, PandaSmile helps children better understand their exercises, stay motivated, and progress day after day, while also allowing parents and practitioners to better monitor their engagement.
