I’m struggling with my functional appliance, any advice?
Q. i am 12 years old and i have just been fitted with a functional appliance but it is very sore and i keep choking on it also i cant eat drink talk or sleep,
A. The functional appliances are used before fixed appliances to reduce the discrepancy between the upper and lower jaws and therefore the teeth. It usually takes one or two weeks to get used to it then you should be able to drink and talk easier. If you are still having problems i would go back to your dentist who fitted it.
