Orthodontic Treatment with Removable Appliances

Removable orthodontic appliances are used to correct bite abnormalities. One of their advantages is that patients can remove them on their own. Removable appliances are most commonly used in children. By starting treatment with a removable appliance at a young age, patients often have a chance to avoid wearing fixed braces. The effectiveness of treatment with removable appliances depends primarily on close cooperation with the orthodontist and adherence to their recommendations. Depending on the specific orthodontic issue being corrected, several types of removable appliances are available, such as the Schwarz plate, which aims to widen the upper and lower dental arches. Each type serves to correct different issues. It’s worthwhile to begin orthodontic treatment during the developmental phase, as the treatment duration can be shorter and yield excellent results.
