What are the functional devices?
These dental appliances are a type of removable appliance that are normally used to correct problems of bone base development, although they can also carry out some dentition movement. You can learn more about the types of removable appliances in this section.
What are functional devices for?
Functional dental appliances are used to prevent severe malocclusions. For example: there are people who tend to have a tendency to undergrow their jaw, and functional dental appliances can increase growth to avoid a dental problem that will be difficult to correct in the future.
It is common for it to appear in several members of the family, so it is easy to predict with a check-up at our dental clinic. If we use these functional dental devices we can avoid surgery after growth, in which the mandibular position is moved forward so that everything fits correctly. This is why it is so important for the orthodontist to monitor the entire process of tooth growth and replacement.
This is the reason why all patients who come to our clinics in Barcelona and Ibiza, we do a complete oral examination and a TAG completely free, in order to diagnose possible future problems. In this section are all the services that we will perform for free in your first visit. You can also see our facilities andmedical staff, so you can be completely reassured of the professionalism of our clinic.
Visit our clinics to explain your case. On the first visit we will perform a dental CT and a complete study, totally free of charge. In this way we will know the extent of the problem, your needs and we can advise you on the different types of dental treatments, advantages and prices of all treatments, without any commitment on your part.
Do not doubt our professionalism, we will inform you about the best alternatives according to your situation. Book your visit today.
Care of functional devices
These braces are usually worn throughout the day, and it is important to follow the orthodontist’s recommendations on how and when to wear the braces. If it is not carried out correctly, the treatment will not be as successful as expected, to the detriment of the patient.
The fact that it is removable allows you to take it off for eating and washing.
