⭐️⭐️⭐️ WHY IS FACEMASK THERAPY REQUIRED AS A PART DENTAL BRACES AND CLEAR ALIGNER TREATMENT ? ⭐️⭐️⭐️

📍📍 Facemask therapy, also known as orthopaedic or protraction facemask therapy, is a treatment method used in orthodontics to correct certain types of skeletal malocclusions, particularly Class III malocclusions.

📍📍 A Class III malocclusion is characterised by the lower jaw protruding forward compared to the upper jaw, resulting in an underbite. Facemask therapy is used to correct a deficient upper jaw.

📍📍 Facemask therapy involves the use of a specially designed orthodontic appliance known as a facemask or reverse-pull headgear.

📍📍 This appliance consists of a frame that is attached to the patient's upper teeth, along with straps that are worn around the back of the head and neck. The facemask applies forward traction to the upper jaw, gradually guiding it into a more favorable position while restraining the forward growth of the lower jaw.

📍📍 By wearing the facemask for a prescribed period, typically a few hours each day or overnight, the patient's upper jaw is encouraged to grow forward, aligning it with the lower jaw and improving the overall bite relationship.

📍📍 Facemask therapy is most effective when started during the early growth phase, usually between the ages of 7 and 10, when the facial bones are still developing and more responsive to growth modification.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In conclusion, facemask therapy is a non-surgical treatment approach used in orthodontics to correct Class III malocclusions by stimulating forward growth of the upper jaw. It is an effective method for achieving proper dental and skeletal alignment, improving facial aesthetics, and enhancing overall oral function.
