\nFunctional orthodontic<\/a> appliances are dental plates designed to correct the dental arch and bite. They are custom-made for each patient from soft or hard silicone materials. Their main advantage is the ability to be removed and put back in, making them convenient to wear and maintain.
\nOrthodontic appliances fall under the early treatment of dentofacial deformities, which begins in early childhood (ages 5-6) and concludes around the child’s 11th or 12th year. This is also referred to as preliminary treatment, as it often precedes late orthodontic treatment<\/a> or treatment with braces<\/a>. <\/p>\n

With functional orthodontic appliances<\/strong>, we have the opportunity to support the overall development of the patient’s facial skeleton and increase the success rate of non-extraction treatments.<\/p>\n

Orthodontic appliance for bite correction<\/span><\/h3><\/div><\/header>
<\/p>\n

\nThese plates are used to correct an improper bite, crowding of teeth, or large gaps between them. They exert pressure on the jaw in the correct direction, gradually correcting the position of the teeth. <\/p>\n

Sports protective gear<\/span><\/h3><\/div><\/header>
<\/p>\n

\nAthletes and individuals involved in physical activities often use mouthguards to protect their teeth from trauma. They absorb the force of impact and distribute it evenly across the jaw, protecting the teeth from breaking or being displaced. <\/p>\n

Bruxism mouthguards<\/span><\/h3><\/div><\/header>
<\/p>\n

\nBruxism is a condition where a person unconsciously clenches or grinds their teeth, especially during sleep. This can lead to tooth wear and jaw pain. Anti-bruxism plates are highly recommended for patients with metal-ceramic or zirconium bridges, acting as night guards that prevent the ceramic or zirconium from fracturing due to nocturnal clenching. <\/p>\n

\nIn professional teeth whitening, special trays are used to hold the whitening agent. The patient wears them for several hours a day at home until the desired effect is achieved. <\/p>\n

    Early intervention and prevention:<\/span><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t
    <\/p>\n

    \nRemovable orthodontic appliances allow for early intervention in jaw growth and tooth positioning. This enables the correction of malocclusions (improper bites) while the child is still growing, avoiding more serious problems in the future. <\/p>\n

    \n<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>

    \r\n\t\t\t
    Easier oral hygiene:<\/span><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t
    <\/p>\n

    \nSince the appliance is removable, maintaining good hygiene is significantly easier compared to fixed braces. Children can clean their teeth and the appliance separately, reducing the risk of plaque buildup, cavities, and gum inflammation. <\/p>\n

    \r\n\t\t\t
    Comfort and convenience:<\/span><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t
    <\/p>\n

    \nRemovable appliances are often more comfortable and less irritating to the gums and cheeks. They can be removed during meals or sports, which reduces the risk of injury. <\/p>\n

    Children can remove the appliance for special occasions, such as important events, sports competitions, or other activities. This provides greater flexibility and freedom in their daily lives. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Removable appliances can also be used to expand the jaw if there is tooth crowding or insufficient space for permanent teeth to erupt. Expansion at this age helps with the natural alignment of teeth and can prevent the need for tooth extractions or additional corrections at a later stage. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \r\n\t\t\t
    A shorter and more effective orthodontic process:<\/span><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t
    <\/p>\n

    \nEarly treatment with a removable appliance can reduce the time required to wear braces or even make that stage easier and faster in the future. Early intervention also reduces the risk of serious orthodontic problems in adulthood. <\/p>\n

    How to care for orthodontic appliances (braces)?<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/header>
    <\/p>\n

    \nWhen wearing removable appliances (plates), both the teeth and the appliances themselves must be cleaned. Teeth must be brushed every morning and evening, and at least rinsed after meals before reinserting the appliances. <\/p>\n

    The orthodontic appliance should be cleaned morning and evening with a dedicated brush and toothpaste; once a week, it should be soaked in an appliance solution, which you can obtain from a pharmacy in the form of cleaning tablets for dentures and plates.<\/p>\n

    One tablet is dissolved in a glass of cold water, and the appliances are soaked in it for 30\u201340 minutes, after which they are rinsed thoroughly with water and used. When the appliances are not in the mouth, they should be stored in the case provided by the orthodontist. <\/p>\n

    Appliances should not be washed with hot water or boiled, as they will deform.<\/strong><\/p>\n
