This is done by fabricating appliances, which are then fitted into the mouth of the patient by the dentist. They are normally viewed as punishment devices by the patient there by sometime producing severe emotional disturbances. If the appliances are going to convert a happy youngster into a nervous patient overnight, it is not worth it.
