Fully Adjustable Facemask

A fully adjustable facemask in the medical sector is a device used primarily in orthodontic treatments to correct facial and jaw irregularities. It consists of a metal frame that fits over the patient's head and face, with adjustable straps to customize the fit. This facemask applies gentle, continuous pressure to the upper jaw (maxilla) to encourage proper alignment and growth. It is often used in cases where the upper jaw needs to be moved forward to correct an underbite. The adjustability of the facemask allows for precise control of the force and direction of the pressure applied, ensuring effective treatment. Typically used in growing children and adolescents, it helps achieve a more balanced facial structure and improved bite
