Functional Appliances
Functional appliances in dentistry are devices used to address issues like misaligned bites, jaw discrepancies, or malocclusions. They aim to influence the growth of the jaw, correct positioning of teeth, and improve overall function. The main goal is for a proper balance of bone, muscle and tissue. Examples include the Frankel appliance, Twin Block appliance, Bionator appliance, and other orthodontic devices designed to guide jaw development and tooth alignment during growth.
