What Are Orthodontic Appliances?

Orthodontic appliances are specialized tools used to correct bite issues, create space for teeth, guide jaw development, and improve the overall effectiveness of orthodontic treatment. Unlike braces or aligners, these appliances focus on shaping how the teeth and jaws grow and function.

At Hello Ortho, every appliance is custom-made to ensure comfort, precision, and reliable results throughout your treatment.

Why Orthodontic Appliances Are Important

Orthodontic appliances can support or even prevent the need for more extensive treatment later on. They help:

Correct bite issues early
Create proper space for permanent teeth
Support jaw growth and balance
Improve breathing and airway function
Enhance the results of Braces or Invisalign®
Prevent long-term crowding or misalignment

These small, targeted treatments can make a big difference in long-term oral health.

Types of Orthodontic Appliances We Offer

At Hello Ortho, we use several different appliances depending on your needs. Each one has a specific purpose and is crafted to fit comfortably and work effectively.

Below are the appliances we offer, with links to standalone pages for detailed information.

Teeth Retainers

Protecting Your Smile After Treatment

Retainers help keep your teeth in place after braces or Invisalign®. They prevent shifting, maintain alignment, and protect the long-term stability of your smile. We offer clear, Hawley, and fixed retainers based on your needs.

Palate Expanders

Guiding Jaw Growth for Kids & Pre-Teens

Palate expanders help widen the upper jaw to create space for permanent teeth, correct crossbites, and support better breathing. This early-phase appliance is often recommended for children ages 7–12 when jaw growth is most responsive.

TMJ Mouth Guards

Relief for Jaw Pain, Grinding & Clenching

A TMJ mouth guard helps reduce jaw tension, protect your teeth from grinding, and improve sleep quality. These guards are ideal for teens and adults experiencing TMJ discomfort or bruxism.
