Headgear
- Purpose: Orthodontic headgear is an appliance used to correct bite and support proper jaw alignment by applying pressure to the teeth and jawbones.
- Types:
- Cervical Pull Headgear: Used to move the upper molars back, thereby helping with overbite correction.
- High Pull Headgear: Used to control the growth of the upper jaw and correct open bites or overbites.
- Benefits: Helps correct bite issues (such as overbites and underbites) and guides the growth of the jaws in young patients, preventing or reducing the need for more invasive treatments.
Reverse Pull Headgear(Facemask)
- Purpose: Also known as a facemask, this appliance is used to correct underbites (Class III malocclusions) by pulling the upper jaw (maxilla) forward.
- Components: A facemask typically includes pads that rest on the forehead and chin, with elastics that attach to braces or a splint in the mouth.
- Benefits: Encourages forward growth of the maxilla in children, helping to correct underbites and improve facial profile, reducing the need for surgery later in life.
Maxillary Skeletal Expansion (MSE)
- Purpose: MSE is a method of expanding the upper jaw (maxilla) using a device anchored to the skeletal bone, rather than just the teeth.
- Procedure: The MSE appliance is attached to the palate using mini-implants, and a central screw is turned periodically to gradually widen the maxilla.
- Benefits: Effective for adults and adolescents where traditional expansion methods may not work; it can correct narrow palates, improve airway function, and address certain bite issues.
