Removable Appliances

Upper Removable Appliance (URA)

An upper removable appliance is a custom-made orthodontic device that fits in the upper part of your mouth and can be taken out to eat and brush. It’s commonly used for growing children and teens to correct bite issues. They are usually worn for 4-6 months and can be used in conjunction with fixed braces.

Twin Block Appliance (TBA)

A twin-block appliance is a custom-made orthodontic device that consists of two separate plates, one for the upper and one for the lower jaw. It’s removable and designed to be worn during meals and daily activities. TBAs are commonly used in growing children and teens to correct bite issues, particularly by encouraging the forward growth of the lower jaw. They are usually worn for 9-12months and can be used in conjunction with fixed brace

What Do They Treat?

  • Overbite
    When the upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth too much, it can trap the lower teeth, often leading to crowding and potential gum problems. Correcting an overbite is essential before placing fixed braces. An upper removable appliance (URA) gently adjusts the teeth and jaw to achieve better alignment, creating the necessary space for further treatment.

  • Crossbite
    When the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, this misalignment can affect one or multiple teeth. Upper removable appliances (URAs) can be used to correct crossbites early (when there are still baby teeth present) to reduce the risk of gum or jaw problems. 

  • Overjet
    When the upper front teeth protrude significantly beyond the lower teeth,, impacting both appearance and function. Twin-block removable appliances (TBAs) help correct an overjet by encouraging the lower jaw to move forward and guiding the upper teeth into better alignment, improving both the bite and facial profile.

Benefits

  • Non-invasive and easy to remove
  • Supports natural growth in young patients
  • Easier to clean and maintain than fixed braces
  • May avoid having extractions or jaw surgery

By following your orthodontist’s instructions and wearing the appliance consistently, you can improve your bite and achieve a healthier smile.

Retainers

Retainers are used to maintain the results of orthodontic treatment by keeping teeth in their new positions after braces or aligners are removed. They come in various types, including fixed retainers (bonded to the back of the teeth) and removable retainers (like clear plastic trays).

Length of Wear

Following orthodontic treatment, retainers are typically worn full-time for a month, and the just at night to ensure the teeth remain stable. We recommend that retainers are worn on a part-time basis for life, to maintain the result.  

Consequences of Not Wearing Retainers

If retainers are not worn as prescribed, teeth may gradually shift back to their original positions, potentially undoing the progress made during orthodontic treatment. This can lead to the need for further orthodontic work.

Payment Options

  • To pay all the cost of the orthodontic treatment when booking the brace fit appointment

  • To pay half the cost of your orthodontic treatment when booking the brace fit appointment and the rest spread over 5 wire/aligner changes (every 6-8 weeks)

  • We offer 0% interest subject to acceptance with Practi (Invisalign patients will still need to pay £300 for clin check and the rest could go on finance)

    We also work with our finance provider to make finance options available. Invisalign patients will still need to pay £300 for clin check.
