Activator for dental

A Dental Activator is a removable functional orthodontic appliance used to guide jaw growth, correct malocclusion, and improve bite alignment, especially in growing children and adolescents. It works by positioning the lower jaw forward, stimulating natural growth and improving the relationship between the upper and lower jaws.

Dental activators are commonly used in early (interceptive) orthodontic treatment and are a cornerstone appliance in functional orthodontics.
