Removable Orthodontics
Removable orthodontics are custom-made dental appliances that are worn and removed by the patient. They are often used to correct mild to moderate orthodontic issues.
Removable appliances :
- These appliances are typically made of plastic or acrylic and include retainers, positioners, and functional appliances. They are used to maintain teeth in their desired positions after orthodontic treatment or to address specific dental issues.
