The Twin Block is a removable (ie. you can take it out), functional appliance. It is made up of two components, an upper and lower plate, which works together to posture the lower jaw forward. This frees up the locked-in lower jaw and encourages it to grow to its fullest potential. The upper (and sometimes lower) plate may also have an expansion screw to widen the arch. UsesThe Twin Block appliance can be used on people of all ages, but it is usually used in children who are in their growth phase, to treat an underdeveloped lower jaw. It is usually a phase 1appliance and is followed by braces (phase 2) or a retainer. Full-Time WearBoth the upper and lower plates must be worn together full time, including while you eat and sleep. The only exceptions are when you remove them for cleaning the appliance should be kept in its retainer box. ComfortThere should be little discomfort apart from some tenderness of the facial muscles in the first few days, but this should soon disappear. Full-time wear and eating with the appliance maintains proper fit and minimizes discomfort. Oral HygieneAlways keep your Twin Block and teeth clean. Brush the appliance regularly using a toothbrush and soapy water or toothpaste, and if you cant brush, rinse the appliance and your mouth after eating.
Orthodontics headgear is a type of Orthodontics Appliance attached to dental braces or a palatal expander that aids in correcting severe bite problems. Headgear is typically used in growing patients to correct overbites by holding back the growth of the upper jaw, allowing the lower jaw to catch up. Headgear needs to be worn approximately 10-14 hrs to be effective in correcting the overbite, usually anywhere from 6 -18 months depending on the severity of the overbite and how much a patient is growing.
Cleft Orthodontic Treatment is an advanced treatment for help to cure patients with cleft. Cleft patients usually have severely mal-aligned teeth which have to be corrected with the help of braces. With braces we can help to prepare the patient prior to the surgery. We also can restore an aesthetic smile to the patient. We have a special team for cleft management which includes the oral and maxillofacial surgeon, pedodontist, speech therapist and an orthodontist.
