OREGON, Ohio - Branam Oral Health Technologies has started shipping products designed to reduce tooth decay in children to pharmacies and drug and food stores around the world.
Dr. Steven Branam, a local pediatric dentist, founded the company in 2008 to produce and market a healthier pacifier after numerous national companies declined interest in his patented product.
After witnessing the ill effects of chronic pacifier use in his pediatric dental practice, Branam developed a design for an orthodontic pacifier to promote proper oral alignment, while reducing the risk of jaw deformities and bacterial and ear infections.
