Active plates
Active plates are removable appliances that „snap“ into place when inserted into the upper and/or lower jaw and fit relatively securely.
They are primarily used for single-tooth movements and jaw expansions. The effect of these plates is achieved through screws and springs (active elements).
The screws are „turned“ according to instructions, thereby causing the teeth to move or the jaws to expand.
Dentofacial orthopedic (FKO) Apparatus
Functional orthodontic appliances are removable braces used in children and adolescents during their growth phase to correct jaw misalignments early and biologically.
Instead of just shifting teeth, they use the natural muscle forces of the tongue, lips, and cheeks to specifically stimulate jaw growth, improve lip closure, and promote healthy nasal breathing.
In the practice of Dr. Nowroozi & Colleagues, we use functionally orthodontic appliances based on individual planning to regulate developmental flaws at an early stage and create the foundation for stable, long-term dental and jaw health.
