Orthodontic appliances are removable or fixed devices used to guide jaw development, support tooth movement or maintain the treatment result.
Who may be suitable?
- Children whose jaw development needs monitoring
- Orthodontic patients who need a retainer
- Other situations where the dentist recommends an appliance
How does the process work?
- The type of appliance needed is determined after the examination.
- An impression or scan is taken and the appliance is made individually.
- Instructions for use and cleaning are given and adherence is monitored at check-ups.
After treatment and care
It is important to wear the appliance for the time your dentist specifies. Keep removable appliances in their case when not in use and clean them regularly.
