Braces activator

Treatment with activator appliance is usually the first phase of orthodontic treatment. With the functional appliances, the discrepancies in jaws and abnormalities will get better step by step. If fixed orthodontic appliance is needed, orthodontists start to do the next phase of our treatment.

They begin correction of our individual teeth and protrusion or irregularities in our teeth. It is time that orthodontists will fix braces in our mouth. Fixed appliances like braces are installed to treat teeth irregularities in the finishing stage of our orthodontic treatment. Bionator is also one of the removable functional appliances in orthodontics.

Bionator can also be called a type of activator since its function is similar except for the design and shape of the appliance. Bionator is more comfortable to wear than activator because of the smaller design of the acrylic shape in the mouth. Bionator has transpalatal wire that can be adjusted for palatal expansion instead of large and bulky acrylic of the activator.

Bionator reduces the pressures on the muscle forces like cheeks because of the improved designs in wires, which fits in the mouth. Generally, each orthodontic appliance needs to be cared for until your treatment is over.

Author Topic: Activators Read times. Just wondering if anyone here has an activator? They seem to vary quite a bit in design but mostly they are like top and bottom Hawleys joined together in one block, with just a breathing slot at the front. As soon as I saw one, I had to get one to see what it felt like, not to be able to move my jaw at all. Mine has top and bottom wires just like Hawleys but some seem to have plastic covering top or bottom teeth or both.

But that was before my interest of braces. Now I wear a big activator, that gave me that big speaking habit, that I now like very much. The headgear for the activator makes it complete for me. DemBones Silver Member Posts: I'd love to give something like this a try. The activator would also be my favorite one.

When you have a mouth full of plastic, at least you know what you are wearing I have a beek activator with high pull head gear.
