Functional appliances that guide healthy jaw development.
Removable appliances that gently encourage favourable jaw growth in younger patients — often reducing the need for fixed braces later.
Functional appliances are most effective during the growth spurt years, typically between ages 9 and 14, when we can influence how the jaws develop.
They're worn mostly at home and overnight, so they don't interfere with school or activities.
