These are most commonly used in very young children who do not yet have their permanent teeth, but they can be used for all ages, including adults. Removable plates are used:
- To expand and create space in the jaws in cases of tooth crowding
- To correct crossbites
- To encourage forward growth of the lower jaw when required
Removable plates are usually worn full time except for eating and tooth brushing. They can be made in a variety of colours and designs, from completely clear (invisible) to fluorescent with glitter. Bright colours are especially popular with our younger patients.
