Answer 4

They have "one" purpose...to apply pressure that causes movement of tooth structures...As for moving jaw bones...the major movement of jaw bones is spreading from side to side...Attempting to move jaws forward or back is a highly risky procedure due to the adverse affect as it can have devastating affects on the jaw joint...Jaw bones can be repositioned forward or back but usually requires a surgical procedure if the reposition is going to be one that achieves a distance greater than a few millimeters.
