Fixed functional appliance-A Bird’s Eyeview
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Functional orthopedic treatment seeks to correct malocclusions and harmonize the shape of the dental arch and oro-facial functions. Conventional orthodontic appliances use mechanical force to alter the position of teeth into a more favorable position. However, the scope of these fixed appliances is greatly limited by certain morphological conditions which are caused due to aberrations in the developmental process or the neuromuscular capsule surrounding the orofacial skeleton. To overcome this limitation, functional appliances came into existence. Functional appliances do not replace fixed attachments. Indeed combined use of brackets, bands and extraoral force has the potential for the best possible and most stable long term results .When properly used, they can be valuable additions to the armamentarium of the experienced orthodontic clinic. It is important to note that functional appliance therapy is to be generally followed by the traditional full banded techniques for optimum results; since they deal more with the gross changes in the intermaxillary relations and arc not designed for precise individual tooth movement.
