Irregular or “bad” bite called malocclusion can be corrected with orthodontic treatment. Snap-On Appliances (Pad Holder)The palate holders, called “appliances”, which the patient can put on and take off, are used to remove stenosis of the jaw and crooked teeth. Different types of palate pads made according to the needs of the patient, which are used while sleeping and at certain times of the day, can be easily put on and removed after the acclimatization period. While using the removable palate, teeth and appliances should be brushed after each meal. You can eat after putting your palate holders in the hygienic container given by your doctor, and then put them back on. Transparent PlaqueTransparent plaque treatment is actually a personalized orthodontic treatment. This method straightens the teeth without braces.
