What is Functional Appliances?
Functional appliance treatment uses removable or fixed devices to help improve the relationship between the upper and lower teeth and jaws during growth. It is often considered for growing patients with an increased overjet. Timing, growth pattern, and consistent use influence the response, and braces or aligners may also be needed.
