What is a removable appliance and who is it for?
A removable appliance is a removable orthodontic device made of an acrylic base and metal components (clasps, springs). It is used mainly while children are growing (between the ages of 6 and 12), in the mixed dentition stage (when the child has both baby teeth and permanent teeth). Its main purpose is to guide the harmonious development of the jaws, correct minor problems with tooth position and intercept problems which, if left untreated, would get worse and later require much more complex treatment with fixed braces.
What a removable appliance does
- Corrects harmful habits (thumb-sucking, mouth breathing, tongue thrusting).
- Guides the eruption of the permanent teeth and creates space.
- Corrects minor discrepancies in jaw growth.
- Prepares the ground for treatment with fixed braces, if needed.

Types and components of removable appliances
Removable appliances are customized for each patient and can include various components, depending on the goals of treatment:
Active orthodontic plates
Interceptive orthodontics
These are the most common removable appliances, fitted with screws and springs that apply gentle pressure to the jaws. They allow the dental arches to be widened and crowded teeth to be aligned before the problems become severe. They are very effective during the growth stage, giving the orthodontist the control needed to guide correct bone development.
Functional appliances
Guiding jaw growth
These devices act directly on the facial muscles and are used to correct bite (occlusion) problems. They are well suited to children with a retruded or protruding lower jaw, helping to balance the facial profile. Used at the right time, they can significantly reduce the need for complex surgery in adulthood.
Clear retainers
Maintaining orthodontic results
Although they are not active appliances, clear retainers are a fundamental part of the end of any treatment. Their role is to stabilize the teeth in their new position and prevent relapse. At Dental CATTED, we make high-precision custom retainers that help preserve the result achieved with fixed braces or a removable appliance.
The orthodontist at Dental CATTED will choose the most suitable type of removable appliance after a detailed assessment.

Have questions? We have answers!
How many hours a day does my child need to wear the removable appliance?
For good results, the appliance should be worn for 12 to 16 hours a day, usually overnight and for a few hours in the afternoon.
Is it painful for a child to wear a removable appliance?
It is not usually painful, but your child may feel slight pressure or tightness after the appliance is activated. This is a normal sensation that shows the device is working, and it fades within the first 24–48 hours.
How do you clean a removable appliance?
Daily cleaning with a dedicated toothbrush and mild liquid soap is recommended. Avoid hot water, as it can distort the acrylic base of the appliance.
Can my child speak normally with the removable appliance?
At first there may be slight difficulty with pronunciation, but with practice and reading aloud, children usually adapt within a few days.
Can my child eat with the removable appliance in?
No, the appliance should always be taken out at mealtimes. This protects the metal parts and allows proper hygiene for both the appliance and the teeth.
