Functional appliances use the principle of growth guidance by using the natural growth potential of the patient to effect change. The appliances are most often used before fixed appliances to reduce the discrepancy between the upper and lower jaws, and therefore the teeth. We can make a number of fixed and removable functional appliances, each with its own unique set of benefits. We can modify the appliances to suit your individual preferences.

We know that many dentists have their own preferences for retention which have been developed through years of experience. From traditional Hawleys and Twist-Flex retainers to clear, pressure-formed appliances our team can expertly create your preferred retention appliances with any number of modifications to meet your patients’ needs.

Active appliances are basically any appliance which can be used to effect tooth movement. Our active appliances are all custom-made for your patients, and the design variations are endless. Our range of removable appliances can be used for early interceptive treatment, for simple cases, or as a pre-cursor to other functional or fixed appliances. We offer a variety of colours, patterns and effects to help incentivise the patient.

We are excited about the new possibilities offered by pressure-formed appliances. Traditionally used solely for retention, new materials and bonding methods now allow pressure-formed appliances to actively move teeth. Our pressure-forming department is at the forefront of the new technology, creating active appliances which are discreet, comfortable and virtually invisible.

We have invested in the most up-to-date pressure forming machines and have quickly become experts in their use. We recognised the opportunity to apply this expertise in different and new ways, and have started to make all kinds of wireless appliances. Here are just a few examples:
