Funksionele Toestel Terapie Tydens Ortodontiese Behandeling
Funksionele toestel terapie word hoofsaaklik by pasinte gebruik wat besig is om vinnig te groei. Hierdie toestelle kan of in kombinasie met draadjie behandeling gebruik word of as toestelle wat nie heg aan die draadjies nie. Sommige toestelle is self verwyderbaar.
Hierdie testelle maak gebruik van spierkragte om die kakebene beter te laat pas. Hierdie toestelle word vir ongeveer 8-12 maande gebruik.
Die doel van hierdie toestelle is om beter passing van geringe kaakprobleme te verbeter. Literatuur toon aan dat dat heelwat groter tandveranderinge plaasvind as kaakveranderings. Die indikasies vir die korrekte gebruik van hierdie toestelle sal deur die ortodontis met u bespreek word nadat n volledige ortodontiese ondersoek voltooi is.
Hierdie toestelle vereis baie goeie samewerking van pasiënte en die periode van aanpassing is gewoonlik ook langer as die van tradisionele spoortjies.
