WHAT ARE ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCES ?

• Other types of orthodontic appliances may also be used during the course of treatment.

​

• Some appliances are removable while others will be attached to the teeth until they are no longer needed.

​

• Depending upon your needs, these appliances help with:

  •  Influencing jaw growth

  •  The reduction of deep overbites

  •  Allowing for the correction of teeth in crossbite

  •  Maintaining the space for a permanent tooth when a baby tooth has been prematurely lost

  •  Minor tooth movement

  • Helping to control harmful oral habits
