Functional appliances are used for growth modification procedures that are aimed at intercepting and treating jaw discrepancies. The goal of early treatment is to correct existing or developing skeletal discrepancies and muscular imbalances before the eruption of permanent dentition. Early treatment also increases the stability of outcome. Frankel is a functional device based on functional orthopedics principles and, in union with muscle gymnastics, creates maxillary and mandibular morphological changes thereby restoring the occlusion.
