Functional Appliances

Functional appliances are orthodontic devices designed to guide the development of your jaw and improve the positioning of your teeth. These appliances are usually worn in your early teens while your jaw is still growing, which allows them to influence your bite and smile effectively. They help to correct problems such as overbites, giving you a better facial profile and a healthier bite.

How they work:

Functional appliances are designed to be worn for several hours a day or overnight, guiding the growth of your jaw and aligning your teeth.

Life benefits:
  • Early treatment can prevent more complicated issues later.
  • Improves both bite function and facial appearance.
  • Shorter orthodontic treatments in the future.

How they work:

Removable appliances are designed to move teeth gently by wearing them for most of the day. They are made of clear or acrylic materials, blending well with your teeth.
