Braces or aligners: types and choiceQuestion before treatment

Can removable plates correct the bite?

Answered byDr Ivelina Ivanova-Koycheva, Orthodontist (MSc)Master's degrees in orthodontics in Rome and in aligner treatment in Turin, international lecturerPublished on 12 November 2026

Removable plates are orthopaedic appliances. They are used to stimulate jaw growth in the desired direction – for widening, or for correcting the bite from front to back. This can only be expected in patients who are still growing.

This answer is for general information. Your own case needs an examination by an orthodontist.
