The orthodontic positioner from Johns Dental is a space-closing, finishing appliance that is most often used to complete orthodontic treatment. Clinicians may recommend positioners once fixed orthodontic treatment is complete. Positioners prevent relapse that discourages dental arches from returning to mal-aligned anatomy by use of “gentle force.” Some dentists may remove braces 3-6 months early, to the delight of many patients, providing they wear a positioner to complete their treatment.
Positioners can also be used to close orthodontic band spaces, diastemas and correct slight tooth rotation.
