Removable plates

Upper removable retainer plate

Removable plates are commonly used as retainers after active first phase or full-braces treatment.

Removable plates can also used to hold spaces and arch-width or to affect the vertical relationships while the adult dentition is developing. These plates can also include active screws or springs to provide limited tooth movements.

Generally, removable plates are not suitable for widespread alignment of crowded teeth or three-dimensional movements of individual teeth – or most bite changes. Control of rotated teeth and the uprighting of roots are not possible to achieve with removable plates.
