Orthodontic dental appliances are devices that use the individual's own biological muscle forces to generate orthodontic movements and adjust the skeletal position of the jaws and teeth.

Only patients in the growth stage are treated; therefore, in order to assess whether this type of treatment is feasible, we have to perform radiological tests: lateral skull x-ray and even wrist x-ray, in order to determine the patient's growth stage.
As I mentioned earlier, functional orthopedics seeks to restore balance and solve problems caused by a habit or unconscious act, although it can also treat problems of space, or even non-functional teeth grinding, whether conscious or unconscious.
