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.
Functional appliances are designed to be worn for several hours a day or overnight, guiding the growth of your jaw and aligning your teeth.
A removable appliance is a simple and flexible way to start your orthodontic journey. These devices are customised to fit your teeth and can be easily removed for eating and cleaning. They're typically used for minor tooth movements or early-stage treatment before braces. Since you can take them out when needed, they are a convenient and comfortable option for teens with busy lifestyles.
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.
Fixed clear braces offer a discreet way to straighten teeth using brackets made of ceramic or clear materials, making them less noticeable compared to metal braces. They're ideal for teens who want effective treatment but prefer a more subtle look. Clear braces provide the same reliability as traditional braces, but with less visual impact.
Clear brackets are attached to the teeth and connected by wires, applying gentle pressure to move teeth into place.
Fixed metal braces are the classic, tried-and-tested orthodontic treatment that has been straightening teeth for decades. They are highly effective in correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, from crowding to misaligned bites. Metal braces are sturdy and can handle complex cases, making them the go-to option for many teens.
Metal brackets are fixed to your teeth and connected by an archwire, which gradually moves your teeth into the correct positions.
The motional appliance is a newer type of orthodontic technology designed to work faster than traditional braces. Using advanced materials and techniques, this appliance reduces the time needed for treatment while still delivering excellent results. It's an ideal option for teens who want to speed up their orthodontic process.
Motional appliances use gentle, constant pressure to quickly align teeth. They may combine features of functional appliances and braces.
Invisalign Teen is a popular choice for teens who want a nearly invisible way to straighten their teeth. Instead of brackets and wires, Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that fit comfortably over your teeth. You can take them out to eat, play sports, or attend special events, making them incredibly convenient for teens with active lifestyles.
Custom-made clear aligners gradually shift your teeth over time. You switch to a new set of aligners every two weeks.
