Extraoral orthodontic face masks
A dental facemask is an orthopaedic device used in orthodontics to treat Class III malocclusions and stimulate upper jaw growth in children. These facemasks are essential in clinical cases requiring correction of jaw position and forward stimulation of maxillary development.
The operating principle of the orthodontic facemask lies in exerting an extraoral force on the jaw, helping with its rotation and repositioning. This is achieved through the use of elastics connected to a fixed intraoral appliance, which is anchored to the upper molars, providing a solid base for extraoral traction.
Orthodontic extraoral masks are intended for home use and form part of a comprehensive orthodontic treatment supervised by a professional. Through regular and correct application of extraoral force, the aim is to correct the malocclusion and promote proper growth of the maxillary structures.
