Functional Appliances – Guiding Jaw Growth Naturally
Functional appliances are orthodontic devices used mainly in children and teenagers to guide jaw growth and correct bite problems. They help influence the position of the jaws while a child is still growing, reducing the need for surgical corrections later. These appliances can also create room for permanent teeth, improve facial profile, and support healthier long-term development.
Key Benefits:
- • Early Intervention – Corrects problems while growth is active.
- • Guides Jaw Growth – Encourages proper bite and alignment.
- • Prevents Surgery – Reduces need for invasive procedures later.
- • Improves Facial Balance – Supports natural and harmonious development.
- • Boosts Confidence – Early correction improves smile appearance.
