Types of Appliances

Orthodontic appliances are devices used alongside or in place of braces to address skeletal and dental discrepancies that tooth movement alone cannot resolve. Chang Orthodontics utilizes a range of appliances — including elastics, the Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device, headgear, the Herbst® Appliance, palatal expanders, positioners, retainers, separators, and the Twin Block Appliance — each selected based on the specific clinical needs of the patient. Your treatment plan will specify which appliances are indicated and provide clear instructions for wear and care.
