Orthodontic correction devices

Dental appliances are devices worn in or on the mouth to correct, protect, or replace teeth.

The term covers a range of equipment: braces and retainers straighten teeth, mouthguards protect them during sports, night guards prevent grinding, and dentures replace missing teeth.
