The odon device, also known as a dental device or oral appliance, is a type of prosthetic used to aid with the alignment and positioning of teeth. There are several synonyms for odon device, such as dental appliance, mouthguard, teeth aligner, orthodontic appliance, and dental retainer. Dental appliances are often used in orthodontic treatment, sports dentistry, and for patients suffering from bruxism or sleep apnea. While each type of dental appliance may have specific design features, they all work to support the normal function and health of the teeth and surrounding tissues, ensuring a patient's healthy smile for years to come.
