Whether it's a simple alignment issue or a developing bite concern, our comprehensive removable treatment options ensure your child receives gentle, age-appropriate care at every stage.
What Are Removable Braces?
Removable brace are orthodontic devices that can be taken out and put back in by the patient. They are typically used for mild to moderate alignment issues, early-stage bite correction, or to prepare for more complex orthodontic treatment in the future.
Unlike fixed brace, these appliances offer flexibility, making them especially well-suited for younger children who may not be ready for full fixed brace. Our practice offers several types of removable appliances, including:
- Functional Appliances
- Invisalign for Teens
- Interceptive Orthodontics (Early Treatment)
- Custom Removable Plates
Who Can Benefit from Removable Brace?
Removable appliances are ideal for children who:
- Show early signs of jaw misalignment
- Have mild crowding, spacing, or bite issues
- Need habit-breaking appliances (e.g. for thumb sucking or tongue thrusting)
- Require early orthodontic guidance prior to full fixed treatment
- Would benefit from space maintainers for prematurely lost baby teeth
Our team carefully assesses each case to determine the most effective treatment option.

Types of Removable Braces Offered at Freshdental
At Freshdental, we offer a range of removable brace for kids that support healthy jaw development, guide tooth eruption, and help establish proper alignment early on. These options are especially suited for growing children and teens, offering flexibility and comfort during treatment.
Functional Appliances
These specially designed devices work in harmony with your child’s natural growth to correct jaw discrepancies, such as overbites or underbites. Common examples include Twin Blocks and other bite-correcting appliances.
They are typically used during early adolescence and can significantly improve facial profile and bite without the need for surgery later.
Invisalign First
Designed specifically for children aged 6 to 10, Invisalign First uses clear, removable aligners to address a wide range of early orthodontic concerns. This includes arch development, expansion, spacing issues, and crowding.
It’s a comfortable and discreet solution that allows kids to maintain their confidence and oral hygiene with ease.
Interceptive Treatment (Early Orthodontics)
Also known as Phase I orthodontics, interceptive treatment is focused on identifying and correcting problems in young children before they become more complex. Using removable appliances, we can guide jaw growth, manage space for incoming teeth, and break harmful oral habits.
This early intervention often reduces the need for more intensive treatment during the teenage years.
Invisalign for Teens
This clear aligner system is tailored to meet the unique needs of teenagers. Invisalign Teen includes wear indicators to monitor usage and offers the flexibility of removable trays, making it easier for teens to eat, brush, and floss as normal. It’s ideal for older children who have all their permanent teeth and are ready for more advanced orthodontic correction.
How the Treatment Process Works
At Freshdental, your child’s care is always individualised and thorough:
Initial Consultation: We evaluate your child’s oral development, jaw alignment, and any bite or crowding concerns.
Treatment Planning: Based on the assessment, we recommend the most suitable type of removable brace and design a custom treatment plan using digital scans.
Fitting the Appliance: Once fabricated, we ensure the appliance fits comfortably and securely. We also educate parents and children on how to insert, remove, and care for the device.
Ongoing Monitoring: Your child will have regular check-ups to monitor progress, assess growth changes, and make any necessary adjustments.
Future Planning: In many cases, removable brace are the first step in a longer-term orthodontic journey. We may recommend fixed braces or aligners once the permanent teeth are fully erupted.
