Removable orthodontic appliances have some limitations compared to fixed appliances. However, a removable appliance can be used during each period of craniofacial growth and dental development. A number of clinical applications for the removable appliance during the mixed and permanent dentition is explained. The use of functional orthopedic appliances and removable retention appliances are also described. It is concluded that the removable appliance can still play a favorable part in the treatment of malocclusions in each developmental stage.
与固定矫治器相比，可摘矫治器存在一些局限性。然而，可摘矫治器可在颅面生长和牙齿发育的各个阶段使用。本文解释了可摘矫治器在混合牙列期和恒牙列期的一些临床应用。还介绍了功能性矫形矫治器和可摘保持器的使用。得出的结论是，可摘矫治器在每个发育阶段的错颌畸形治疗中仍可发挥良好作用。
