What are Oral Appliances
Oral appliances are specially designed devices that help correct issues related to the misalignment of your teeth and jaws. Generally, most orthodontic plans include braces or clear aligners to address issues like crooked, gapped, or protruded teeth. However, certain issues may require additional help to alleviate discomfort and maximize the treatment results.
At our practice, we provide oral appliances in Houston to guide the positioning of your teeth and jaws, promoting your oral health. These appliances are custom-made from biocompatible materials, making sure they are safe and comfortable for your oral tissues.
Types of Oral Appliances Treatment for Bite Correction
We offer different types of dental appliances treatment for jaw alignment in Houston, TX, as a part of orthodontic treatment. They can be fixed or removable, depending on your treatment plan.
Palatal Expander
A palatal expander may be used if you have a narrow upper jaw or severe crowding of the upper teeth. It helps widen the upper jaw and create space for proper alignment. This helps create more space for the proper alignment of the upper teeth.
Retainers
Retainers are crucial in orthodontic treatment as they help secure your teeth in their new positions and prevent them from shifting back. Depending on the type and severity of misalignment, you may receive a fixed or removable retainer.
Twin Block Appliance
This unique appliance involves two separate components (in the upper and lower arch). When you bite, both the components interact to move your lower jaw forward and improve its positioning. It is comfortable to wear and involves fewer wires.
Frankel Appliance
Another part of our oral appliances in Houston is the Frankel device, which is used to correct bite problems and jaw irregularities. It is a removable appliance that fits over the teeth and gums, exerting gentle pressure on specific areas to reposition your teeth and jaws.
Herbst Appliance
It is a fixed orthodontic appliance that helps correct bite issues, especially overbites and underbites. There are metal rods on either side of the appliance that connect the upper and lower jaw. Gradually, it helps move the lower jaw forward and align with the upper jaw to correct the bite.
