FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCES
Looking for a solution to help improve your bite and jaw alignment? Functional appliances are designed to help treat misalignments and encourage proper jaw development, giving you a more balanced and comfortable smile. And don’t worry—while they may look a little different, they work wonders!
What Do Functional Appliances Do?
Functional appliances work by gently repositioning your jaw and teeth to improve bite alignment and encourage proper growth. They’re perfect for growing children and teens who need extra help with bite issues or jaw development. Think of them as a little bit of “jaw magic”—helping things grow just right!
Benefits of Functional Appliances:
Corrects Bite Issues: They help with overbites, underbites, and other alignment problems by adjusting the position of your jaw.
Promotes Jaw Development: Functional appliances can help guide the natural growth of the jaw, especially in growing children.
Non-invasive: Unlike other orthodontic treatments, functional appliances don’t require major procedures—just a simple appliance that does the work!
Prevents Future Problems: By correcting bite issues early, functional appliances can help prevent more serious dental problems down the line.
