Types of orthodontic appliances

A bite corrector is an orthodontic device that aligns the lower and upper jaws.

Also known as separators, dental spacers are doughnut-shaped rubber bands that are less stretchy than orthodontic elastics.

Dental expanders are custom-made devices made of two metal pieces connected by a screw.

An orthodontic facemask is an appliance used to correct an underbite.

Retainers may be removable or fixed. They hold your teeth in their new, correct positions after your teeth have been straightened.
