THE INFLUENCE OF FUNCTIONAL THERAPY ON FACIAL AND DENTAL STRUCTURES. CASE PRESENTATION
Keywords:
ACTIVATOR APPLIANCE, FACIAL AESTHETIC, DENTAL OCCLUSION.Abstract
In the era of fixed appliances, some orthodontic practitioners seem to forget about functional therapy. Functional appliances are the only capable of orthopedically changes during the growth spurt. Activators of all types, classic or opened, are elected appliances in growing subjects with class II/1 anomalies. The appropriate case selection, along with patient compliance, lead to improved facial aesthetic and dental occlusion, at affordable prices. With this case presentation, we want to show our protocol in the management of these cases.
