Appliance (Brace) Options
Functional Appliances
Functional Appliances are used to correct your bite. They can either be attached to your fixed braces (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CC3-Qz6q3M – fig a) or be removable (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcNedhms0TE– fig b) in design.
Treatment with functional appliances takes approximately 12 months to complete. These type of appliances uses muscle force to obtain the desired changes to your teeth and jaw bones. They are preferred for growing patients and good compliance is essential to obtain a good outcome.
