A custom-fabricated functional orthopaedic appliance is necessary to guide jaw growth and alignment during development. This procedure involves fabricating an appliance using materials like acrylic or wire to influence the growth and positioning of the jaws. Proper alignment ensures the restoration remains functional and comfortable, improving jaw relationships and enhancing long-term stability. Functional appliances are particularly useful for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Improving jaw relationships enhances function, aesthetics, and long-term stability, enabling the patient to enjoy a healthy and attractive smile. By addressing alignment issues, the procedure prevents complications such as discomfort or excessive force, ensuring the prosthesis remains stable and durable over time. Additionally, it enhances the durability of the restoration, ensuring it remains functional and aesthetically pleasing over time. By addressing structural issues, the procedure prevents complications such as discomfort or failure, ensuring long-term success.
Monitor for signs of improper alignment or excessive force during use. Use advanced techniques to ensure a strong and durable bond, reducing the risk of failure. Verify the fit and margins of the appliance to ensure it does not interfere with the patient’s comfort or movement. Educate the patient on proper care and maintenance of the appliance, emphasizing the importance of regular cleaning and follow-ups.
