Fitting a Reverse Pull Facemask

Dr Mahony is here to show you how to fit a reversible facemask for patients with maxillary deficiency.

I thought we wanted an upward movement and not downward of the maxilla.

I was about to comment this!

[@smoothbanana]

Maxilla naturally grows downward/forward, growing a maxilla upward is like growing shorter in stature

[@Narciss99]

does this work in 30 35 year old adults
?

[@JupiMeow]

Why would you want to push the mandible backward and pull the maxilla down? Even in a patient without significant vertical growth, this will worsen vertical growth and damage the face.

[@smoothbanana]

The goal here is to push the maxilla forward, you can't have it all

That makes sense ! Thank you for sharing Dr Derek !

[@timmytim9054]

I like you. You're an honest lad

[@irangzeb]

Great review and presentation.
Many thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@ranjithgeorge3114]

Could you share any testbook reference for the adjustment of the height of the elastics ( i.e.15-30 deg below occlusal plane)

MetroEggroll It’s not very fun but good luck

[@pradametro3911]

Carolina Pascia i know but it’s better to wear it while we on lockdown then to wear it when school starts

[@carolinapascia6191]

MetroEggroll Will you have to wear it all day and night?

[@AlanNguyenMD]

this is based on a wrong assumption that facemask can only pull teeth.
