As the name suggests, removable appliances can be taken out of the mouth. They are primarily used in mixed dentition – when baby teeth are still present in the mouth.

It moves the teeth using wires attached to brackets bonded to the teeth. The primary goal is to achieve a beautiful smile, but from a medical perspective, a proper bite—where the two dental arches close correctly—is equally important.

Orthodontic treatment is possible not only with fixed appliances but also with removable aligners. These aligners are made from clear, thin plastic, making them virtually invisible to an outside observer.

After orthodontic treatment, maintaining the position of the teeth is crucial for long-term stability. Retention splints prevent the teeth from shifting back.
