Removable Orthodontic Treatment refers to using appliances, like retainers or aligners, that patients can take in and out of their mouths, as opposed to fixed braces. These appliances are often used for less complex cases, are more comfortable, and can be adjusted more easily than fixed appliances. They are commonly used for tasks like retaining teeth in their corrected positions, influencing jaw growth, or correcting minor malocclusions.
