  • Title: [Are removable appliances obsolete?].
    Author: de Pauw G, Derweduwen K, Dermaut L.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Tandheelkd; 2000 Apr; 107(4):151-4. PubMed ID: 11382971.
    Abstract:
    Removable orthodontic appliances have some limitations compared to fixed appliances. However, a removable appliance can be used during each period of craniofacial growth and dental development. A number of clinical applications for the removable appliance during the mixed and permanent dentition is explained. The use of functional orthopedic appliances and removable retention appliances are also described. It is concluded that the removable appliance can still play a favorable part in the treatment of malocclusions in each developmental stage.
