Orthodontic Face Mask – Reverse Pull Extraoral Appliance

The Orthodontic Face Mask is an extraoral orthopedic appliance used in the management of skeletal Class III malocclusion and maxillary deficiency in growing patients. The appliance delivers anterior and downward traction forces to the maxilla via intraoral hooks or splints connected to an external frame, supporting forward maxillary displacement and correction of midface retrusion during the active growth phase.

Clinical Advantages

Delivers controlled reverse-pull traction forces for maxillary protraction in growing patients
Adjustable elastic force delivery via intraoral hooks or splint attachment points
Extraoral frame designed for stable forehead and chin rest contact during wear
Compatible with standard intraoral facemask hooks, splints, and rapid palatal expanders
Adjustable components allow customization to patient facial dimensions and treatment force requirements

Indications & Clinical Use

Skeletal Class III malocclusion management in growing pediatric and adolescent patients
Maxillary deficiency and midface retrusion correction via orthopedic protraction forces
Used in conjunction with rapid maxillary expansion (RME) or palatal expander appliances
Early orthodontic interceptive treatment for anterior crossbite of skeletal origin

Material & Performance

Frame construction: Metal extraoral frame with forehead and chin rest pads
Force delivery: Adjustable orthodontic elastics connected to intraoral attachment hooks
Country of manufacture: China
Adjustable frame dimensions to accommodate varying pediatric facial profiles

Clinical Workflow

Fit and adjust extraoral frame to patient forehead and chin rest contact points
Connect orthodontic elastics from frame hooks to intraoral attachment points or splint hooks
Calibrate elastic force levels per prescribed orthopedic treatment protocol
Instruct patient on daily wear duration and appliance maintenance procedures
Monitor maxillary displacement and skeletal response at scheduled review appointments
