Removable Appliances are orthodontic devices that patients can take out for cleaning, eating or other activities, depending on the treatment prescribed. They include removable braces, aligners and retainers used to correct selected tooth movements, guide dental development or maintain results after treatment. Successful care requires appropriate appliance selection, fitting, patient instructions and regular monitoring. Potential complications include discomfort, poor fit, unwanted tooth movement and treatment relapse. Independent Removable Appliances Expert Witnesses can provide specialist opinions on treatment planning, consent, appliance management, complications, causation and standards of orthodontic care in Clinical Negligence cases.
