Removable braces are made at an orthodontic laboratory using an impression of the patient's mouth, and consist of wire clasps attached to an acrylic base that fits into the mouth. Wire springs or screws may also form part of the brace and these components move the teeth into their correct positions. The braces come in a choice of colours (click here to see the colour choices).

Twin Blocks are removable braces that are worn on the upper and lower teeth at the same time. They help to make the jaws fit together correctly by bringing the lower jaw forward to match the position of the upper jaw.
