Removable Appliances

Removable appliances  are used to retain teeth in their corrected positions.  In addition, they are sometimes used before and in conjunction with fixed appliances to aid in treatment corrections.

Since removable appliances can easily be taken out by the patient, there may be a tendency not to wear them as we have prescribed. This means your teeth, jaws and muscles may move back toward their original positions.

Removable appliances require care. Although, at first, you may notice an effect on eating and speaking, with only slight effort, you can quickly adapt to the use of the appliance.
