One of the most common challenges to orthodontic treatment are overbites and jawline obstacles. Functional appliance therapy aids in mitigating challenges and speeding later treatment when applied early. Today's appliances are far more easily applied as compared to past techniques, such and head and neckgears. Current devices can perform the same results in a less visable and intrusive way, applied within the mouth. These appliances can be used to plan develoment or dental treatment efforts, especially in the growing patient. They are sometimes referred to as "orthopedic appliances," as they are intended to modify growth, creating an advantage for children's treatment as they reach their teens.
