Bionator before and after
A bionator can guide jaw posture and eruption in a growing patient, but results depend on growth, bite pattern, wear, and further treatment.
How much can a bionator change a growing patient’s bite?
A bionator can guide jaw posture and eruption in a growing patient, but results depend on growth, bite pattern, wear, and further treatment.
What does a bionator do during jaw and tongue function?
A bionator is a removable acrylic functional appliance that positions the lower jaw and tongue during function. It suits selected developing bites, not every skeletal or tooth-position problem.
What can photographs show about bionator treatment results?
Photographs show appearance, not roots, joints, or growth. A bionator's effect must be judged against the diagnosed bite.
When should an orthodontist assess suitability for a bionator?
An orthodontist can assess growth, overjet, overbite, crossbite, eruption, and jaw function before prescribing it.
What problems with a bionator need an orthodontic review?
Seek review for persistent sores, damage, inability to insert it, or jaw pain.
