Why Are Functional Appliances So Important?
Functional Appliances Can Help Correct:
- Bite Problems
- Underdeveloped Jaws
- Narrow Arches
- Crowded Teeth
- Deep Overbites
- Jaw Joint Problems
- Airway Problems
- Thumb sucking Habits
And Can Often Prevent:
- Removal Of Adult Teeth
- Fang-Like Tooth Appearance
- Lengthy Use of Braces
- Speech Difficulties
- Crowding
To Eliminate Crowding
Crowded teeth are caused by narrow arches. By developing the arches at an early age, we may prevent or eliminate the crowding of permanent teeth. Another advantage is that early treatment often eliminates the need to remove any adult teeth.
To Correct Underdeveloped Jaws
Almost 50% of children who need orthodontic treatment due to a bad bite have underdeveloped lower jaws. Functional appliances can reposition the lower jaw forward, improve the child's profile and correct the bite problem - within 7 to 9 months!
