Usually, full braces require most of the adult teeth to be erupted. A functional appliance can be fitted prior to the eruption of all the adult teeth. If a large correction is required and it may be some time before the necessary teeth erupt, a functional appliance will achieve part of the correction while growth continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In most cases, a functional appliance will achieve a better bite but braces will still be required for the detailed correction of individual teeth and the final bite correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A functional appliance should be worn for about 9 months, depending on tooth eruption and the timing of the braces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":448,"parent":10,"menu_order":7,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/fullwidthpage.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
