Palatal Expander
A palatal expander is a common orthodontic appliance used to widen the upper jaw. It consists of a device attached to the upper molars that gently applies pressure to gradually expand the palate. This helps create more space in the mouth, correct crossbites, and improve overall alignment. Palatal expanders are particularly beneficial during childhood when the jaw is still growing.
Orthognathic Appliances
Orthognathic appliances, also known as functional appliances, are designed to correct jaw discrepancies and improve the relationship between the upper and lower jaws. These appliances help promote proper jaw growth and development, and they can be used in combination with braces to achieve comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Orthognathic appliances are customized to each individual's needs.
Thumb / Finger Appliance
Thumb or finger appliances are devices used to address habits such as thumb-sucking or finger-sucking in children. These appliances are designed to discourage the habit by creating a barrier and redirecting the child's tongue or fingers. By eliminating these habits, thumb/finger appliances can help prevent negative effects on dental and jaw development, promoting healthier oral habits.
