The appliance rests against the palate or lower jaw and may contain a screw to make small adjustments to the position of the teeth or the width of the dental arch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"karel-item\">\n<h3 class=\"karel-title\">Why would you need a plate appliance?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"karel-content\">A plate appliance is used to make minor corrections to the teeth, such as creating additional space or improving the bite. Because the appliance is removable, it is important that it is worn according to the orthodontist\u2019s instructions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_6 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_flex_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Functional Appliance (Activator)<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content et_flex_module\"><div class=\"karel-accordion\">\n<div class=\"karel-item\">\n<h3 class=\"karel-title\">What is a functional appliance?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"karel-content\">A functional appliance, also known as an activator, is a removable orthodontic appliance used to influence the growth and position of the jaws. The appliance is mainly made of acrylic and may contain metal parts. It is primarily used for growing children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"karel-item\">\n<h3 class=\"karel-title\">Why would you need a functional appliance?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"karel-content\">A functional appliance is prescribed when there is an abnormal relationship between the upper and lower jaw. This is often the case with an overbite (when the upper teeth protrude too far or the lower teeth are positioned too far back). The orthodontist will determine the right moment to guide jaw growth and help limit the need for more extensive treatment later on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_7 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_flex_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Palatal Expander (Hyrax)<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content et_flex_module\"><div class=\"karel-accordion\">\n<div class=\"karel-item\">\n<div class=\"karel-accordion\">\n<div class=\"karel-item\">\n<h3 class=\"karel-title\">What is a palatal expander?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"karel-content\">A palatal expander, also known as a Hyrax appliance, is a fixed orthodontic appliance used to widen the upper jaw. The appliance is attached to the molars and contains a small screw mechanism in the middle of the palate. By turning this mechanism regularly, the upper jaw can gradually be widened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"karel-item\">\n<h3 class=\"karel-title\">Why would you need a palatal expander?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"karel-content\">A Hyrax appliance is used when the upper jaw is too narrow. This can cause a lack of space in the mouth or a crossbite. Widening the upper jaw creates more room for the teeth and helps the bite fit together more properly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_8 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_flex_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Herbst Appliance<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content et_flex_module\"><div class=\"karel-accordion\">\n<div class=\"karel-item\">\n<div class=\"karel-accordion\">\n<div class=\"karel-item\">\n<div class=\"karel-accordion\">\n<div class=\"karel-item\">\n<h3 class=\"karel-title\">What is a Herbst appliance?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"karel-content\">A Herbst appliance is a fixed orthodontic appliance used to guide the lower jaw forward.

They are custom-made and worn as a consecutive series, with each aligner gradually moving the teeth by a small amount. In this way, the teeth are guided step by step into the desired position. For better grip and control, small tooth-colored attachments are often bonded to the teeth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"karel-item\">\n<h3 class=\"karel-title\">Why would you need aligners?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"karel-content\">Aligners are used to straighten teeth and correct mild to moderate irregularities in tooth alignment.
