Orthodontic appliances are devices designed to influence the shape and function of the stomatognathic system, typically including metal bands, wires or springs that effect skeletal and dental changes by modifying neuromuscular forces. These removable functional appliances are used by dentists to guide optimal dental and jaw development, eliminate noxious oral habits, promote nasal breathing and correct dental occlusion.
