Functional Appliances
Functional appliances are orthodontic devices used to guide jaw development and ensure harmony between the jawbones. They are generally preferred for growing children and adolescents. These appliances support the correct positioning of the upper and lower jaws, aiming to achieve an ideal oral structure both aesthetically and functionally. They can be used fixed or removable and affect the jaw skeleton.
