Functional appliances assist in the correct development of the jaws in order to achieve desired facial balance and harmony. At John Mewing Orthodontics we offer two functional appliances so our patients can achieve the facial balance they desire.

The Cantilever Bite Jumper (CBJ) Appliance, is a growth modifying appliance that is fixed to the teeth whereas the Twin Block Appliance is a removable appliance that is worn to promote lower jaw growth and achieve balance between the jaws. To find out more information on which appliance is right for you, contact our friendly team today.
