Removable Appliance
Removable Appliance
Functional appliances are usually fitted to reduce the prominence of upper front teeth and to improve the way the jaws relate to each other. This involves two removable appliances – one for the upper teeth and one for the lower teeth, they alter the bite of the teeth by holding the lower jaw forwards. Functional appliances need to be worn on a full-time basis, day and night, for between 6 and 9 months. They must be removed for cleaning, swimming and contact sports. After this initial treatment period they are usually worn at night to allow the transition to the fixed braces.
