This document discusses orthopedic appliances used for growth modification. It describes three main types of orthopedic appliances: headgears, protraction face masks, and chin cups. Headgears are the most widely used and can be cervical, occipital, or a combination to modify maxillary growth. Protraction face masks apply an anterior protractory force on the maxilla through facial anchorage from the chin and/or forehead. Chin cups provide anchorage from the chin area. The key principles of orthopedic appliance therapy are applying heavy intermittent forces through teeth to modify bone growth at sutures and growth sites.
Frankles appliance Is a myofunctional appliance
Functional appliance are removable or fixed appliances that aim to utilize eliminate or guide the forces arising from muscle function,tooth eruption and growth inorder to alter skeletal and dental relationship

ORTHOPEDIC APPLIANCES:
The appliance that produces skeletal changes by applying orthopaedic forces are known as “Orthopaedic appliance”.
‘Orthopaedic therapy' is aimed at the correction of skeletal imbalance with the correction of any dentoalveolar malocclusion being of less importance, in which little or no tooth movement is desired. Therefore, orthopedic forces are heavier (= 400 gm) when compared to orthodontic forces (50-100 gm).

HEADGEAR and FACE MASK ORTHOPEDIC FORCE .pptxMaen Dawodi
There are 2 types of forces used in orthodontics-
1) orthodontic force
when applied brings about dental change.
They are light forces ( 50- 100 gm) bringing about
tooth movement.
2) orthopedic force
when applied brings about the skeletal changes.
They are heavy forces ( 300-500gm) that bring about
changes in the magnitude & direction of bone growth.
The following are the commonly used orthopedic appliances
a) Headgears
b) Protraction Face Mask
c) Chin Cup Appliance.
Headgears are the most widely used extra oral orthopedic appliances.
They are mainly used in the management of skeletal class II malocclusion by growth modification.
They are also used for distalization of maxillary molars

Definition
It is a force derived from an extra-oral appliance that uses the forehead, the top of the head or the back of the neck as anchorage to apply forces to the dental or basal arch. It may be orthodontic force or orthopedic force to move the dentition, or restrict or redirect the growth respectively.
Philosophy:
The philosophy beyond the use of extra-oral force is based upon the old concept that, (the application of appreciable amount of force against the growing bone con modify or alter the direction of bone growth and consequently alter the shape and position of the bone
= the well-known best examples are the induced skull deformation in Colombia –India and feet deformation in Chinese girls
History and development:
Appliances resembling chin cups have been in use since the early 1800's. According to Graber, the early attempts with the chin cup were not successful because of incomplete knowledge of mandibular and facial growth, its use on non-growing patients, and an inadequate understanding of the forces generated by the chin cup.
1802: Cellier and Josef Fox in 1803, utilized chin caps in combination with bite blocks to correct the “underslung chin”
1866: Norman Kingsley introduced extra-oral head cap anchorage or force for maxillary distal movement
1880: Kingsley described an appliance that could influence the position of the dentition in upper jaw with the aid of extra-oral forces
1887: E.H.Angle recommended the use of occipital bandage in treatment of maxillary protrusion
1904: Jackson was first describing the facial mask
1892: headgear appliance was originally designed by Kingsley
1920: Angle and his followers were convinced that class II and class III elastics not only moved teeth but cause a significant skeletal changes: stimulate growth of one and restrain growth for the other so we not need to use any extra-oral force just wait until permanent dentition is completed
1923: Case recommend the use of extra-oral force against maxilla in treatment of class II and class I maxillary protrusion
1947: Kleohn, presented his treatment results with cervical neck strap, subsequent to this report, many other variation of the headgear appliance were presented
1960: Delaire facemask
Classification of extra-oral force appliances according to uses
The extra-oral pull is generally applied bilaterally, for three main purposes:
(1) as a restraining force

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

2. INTRODUCTION
There are essentially 3 alternatives for treating any
skeletal malocclusion –
(i) growth modification
(ii) dental camouflage
(iii) orthognathic surgery
Growth modification should be opted wherever
applicable because this precludes the need for both
tooth extraction and surgery.
3. Goal of growth modification is to alter the
unacceptable skeletal relationships by modifying
the patients remaining facial growth to favorably
change the size or position of the jaws.
There are 3 types of orthodontic appliances that can
be used for modifying the growth of
maxilla/mandible-
(i) orthopedic appliances
(ii) functional appliances
(iii) inter arch elastic traction
This seminar discusses the essential aspects of
orthopedic appliances.
4. ORTHODONTIC FORCE VS
ORTHOPEDIC FORCE
There are 2 types of forces used in orthodontics-
1) orthodontic force – when applied brings
about dental change. They are light forces ( 50-
100 gm) bringing about tooth movement.
2) orthopedic force – when applied brings about
the skeletal changes. They are heavy forces (
300-500gm) that bring about changes in the
magnitude & direction of bone growth.
5. The appliances that produce skeletal changes by
applying orthopedic forces are known as orthopedic
appliances.
Since they employ heavy forces, adequate anchorage
required is gained by extra oral means using
occipital, parietal, frontal cranial bones and cervical
vertebrae.
The most widely used orthopedic appliances are-
a) Headgear
b) Protraction Face Mask (reverse pull headgear)
c) Chin Cup
6. BASIS OF ORTHOPEDIC APPLIANCE
THERAPY
Orthopedic appliances generally use teeth as
“handles” to transmit forces to the underlying
skeletal structures.
Basis of orthopedic appliance therapy resides in the
use of intermittent forces of very high magnitude.
Such heavy forces when directed to the basal bone
via teeth tend to alter the magnitude & direction of
the jaws by modifying the pattern of bone apposition
at periosteal sutures & growth sites.
7. Orthopedic appliances are worn intermittently for
only about 10-12 hours a day.
Tooth movement is also reduced significantly by
replenishment of normal circulation when the
appliance is not worn.
Thus, skeletal changes rather than tooth movement
occur during orthopedic appliance therapy,
although some tooth movement is inevitable.
8. PRINCIPLES OF USING ORTHOPEDIC
APPLIANCES
The following are the basic principles of using
orthopedic appliances effectively –
1) Magnitude of force –
Extra oral forces of much greater magnitude, in
excess of 400gms per side is required to bring about
skeletal changes.
Most orthopedic appliances employ forces in the
range of 400-600 gm per side to maximize skeletal
9. changes and to minimize dental change.
Such heavy force compress the periodontal ligament
on the pressure side & cause hyalinization, which
prevents tooth movement.
2) Duration of force –
Orthopedic changes are best produced by employing
intermittent heavy forces.
Intermittent forces of 12-14 hours duration per day
appear to be effective in producing orthopedic
changes.
10. An intermittent heavy force is less damaging to the
teeth and periodontium than a continuous heavy
force.
3) Direction of force –
Orthopedic force should be applied in the
appropriate direction to have a maximum skeletal
effect.
The desired changes are best achieved when the line
of force passes through the center of resistance of
the skeletal structures to be moved.
11. The force direction or force vector should be decided
depending on the clinical needs.
4) Age of the patient –
It is advisable to begin orthopedic appliance therapy
while patient is still in the mixed dentition period, to
make most of the active growth occurring
prepubertal growth spurt.
Treatment may have to be continued until the
completion of adolescent growth, so as to prevent
relapse caused by the re-expression of patients
fundamental growth pattern after cessation of
12. orthopedic therapy
5) Timing of force application –
Optimum timing of extra oral force application is
considered to be during evening & night.
This is because, an increase release of growth
hormone and other growth promoting endocrine
factors has been observed to occur during the
evening & night rather than during the day.
Evidence suggest that skeletal growth is associated
with sleep onset & follows circadian pattern.
13. ORTHOPEDIC APPLIANCES
The following are the commonly used orthopedic
appliances –
a) Headgears
b) Protraction Face Mask
c) Chin Cup Appliance
14. HEADGEAR
Headgears are the most
widely used extra oral
orthopedic appliances.
They are mainly used in
the management of skeletal
class II malocclusion by
growth modification.
They are also used for
distalization of maxillary
molars.
15. Components of headgear –
1) Force delivering unit
a) Face bow
b) ‘J’ hook
2) Force generating unit
3) Anchor unit
a) Head cap or
b) Neck strap
1)a) Face bow
It is a metallic framework made of large gauge wire.
16. It can be attached to teeth either via brackets ( fixed
orthodontic appliance ) or removable appliance.
Parts of face bow –
i- junction
ii- inner
bow
iii- outer
bow
17. i) Junction –
it is the point of attachment of the inner and outer
bow, which may be soldered or welded.
The junction is situated in the midline of the bows,
although it can be shifted either right or left side
depending upon asymmetrical force need.
ii) Inner bow –
it is made up of 0.045” or 0.052” round stainless
steel wire and is countered to follow the shape of
dental arch.
18. Friction stops are placed in the bow mesial to the
buccal tube of first permanent molar to prevent the
inner bow from sliding too far distally through the
buccal tube.
iii) Outer bow/ Whisker bow –
it is made of a round stainless steel wire of 0.051” or
0.062” that is contoured to fit around the face.
The length of the outer bow can be adjusted to
produce the desired force vector/ line of force.
19. Outer bow on both sides at the distal end is curved
to form a hook that gives attachment to the force
generating unit.
The outer bow can be short, medium or long.
Short – outer bow is lesser in length than inner bow.
Medium – outer bow length is equal to inner bow.
Long – outer bow is longer than inner bow.
1)b) ‘J’ Hook
This type of face bow consists of two 0.072” curved
wires whose ends form hooks that are contoured to
fit over a small soldered stop on anterior segment of
20. the maxillary arch wire.
fig: J Hook type face bow
Their normal site of attachment on the arch wire is
between the lateral incisors and the canine.
21. The J hook type of face bow is therefore used along
with maxillary fixed appliance having a continuous
arch wire.
They are used for retraction of maxillary anteriors
and have limited orthopedic indications.
2) Force generating unit
It produces heavy forces to effect skeletal changes.
It also connects the face bow to the anchor unit
( head cap or neck strap )
22. Force generating unit may be in the form of:
i) springs
ii) elastics or
iii) other stretchable material
fig : force generating unit
Springs are preferred as they provide a constant
force whereas elastics tend to undergo force decay.
23. 3) Anchor unit
Headgear appliance derives anchorage from extra
oral sites using the rigid bones of skull or back of the
neck.
Two basic types of extra oral attachments that
provide anchorage for headgear are :
1. cervical attachment / neck strap
24. 2. occipital attachment / head cap
A combination of cervical & occipital attachments
may also be used to distribute the external forces
over a wide surface area.
25. Principles in the use of headgear :
The following factors should be considered when
planning the use of headgears :
1) Centre of resistance of the dentition
The inner bow is generally attached to the maxillary
first permanent molars through buccal tubes on
these teeth.
Force acting on the molars tends to displace them. A
decision should be made as to whether bodily
movement or tipping of the teeth is required.
26. The centre of resistance for a molar is usually at the
mid root region.
fig : line of forces
passing through
the centre of
resistance of the
molars results in
their bodily
movement.
27. • fig : line of force
passing passing above the
centre of resistance
of molar causes
causes distal root
tipping.
Fig : line of force passing
below the centre of resisita
-nce of molar causes distal
Crown tipping.
28. 2) Centre of resistance of maxilla
Centre of maxilla is believed to exist at the
posterosuperior aspect of zygomaticomaxillary
suture.
29. This is located between the roots of premolar.
Forces passing through the centre of resistance of the
maxilla produce translation of maxilla in a distal
direction while forces passing above or below this
point cause rotation of the maxilla.
3) The point of origin of the force
Occipital headgears produce a superior and distal
force on the teeth and maxilla
Cervical headgears produce an inferior and distal
force on teeth and maxilla.
30. Thus an appropriate point of origin or site of
anchorage should be selected based on what type of
tooth and maxillary movement would be beneficial
for a given patient.
4) Point of attachment
It refers to the hook present on the distal end of the
outer bow to which the force generating unit is
attached.
It is possible to alter the direction of force to the
maxilla and the dentition by altering the point of
attachment.
31. This can be done by varying the length of the outer
bow or by varying the angle between the inner and
outer bow.
fig: Length and
angulation of
the
outer bow can
affect the line
of
force.
32. Types of headgears
1) Cervical headgears –
They obtain anchorage from nape of the neck.
They cause extrusion of the
maxillary molars leading to an
increase in the lower facial
height.
They move the maxillary dentition & maxilla in a
distal direction.
33. 2) Occipital Headgears-
They derive anchorage from the back of the head.
They produces a distal and superiorly
directed force on the maxillary teeth
& the maxilla.
Produce a more vertically directed
force & thus used in individuals in whom an
increase in vertical dimension is to be avoided.
34. 3) Combination Headgears –
Occipital & cervical anchorage is combined.
Distal and slight upward force is
exerted on the maxilla & maxillary
dentition.
Resultant force direction can be altered by varying
the proportions of total force derived from head cap
& the neck strap.
35. 4) Vertical pull headgear –
They derive anchorage from the parietal region of
the cranium .
Produce a vertically directed force on
maxilla & the maxillary dentition.
Used to produce intrusive forces on the anterior
region of the maxilla thereby producing a counter
clockwise moment of the maxilla.
36. 5) Asymmetrical Headgears –
They are used when differential anchorage is
required on both sides of the maxillary arch.
Example – a patient with Class II molar relation on
one side and a Class I molar relation on the other
side can be given an asymmetric headgear.
37. Uses of headgears
1. Orthopedic effect : forces applied on to the maxilla
can be used to restrict its downward & forward
growth.
2. Anchorage augmentation : extra oral forces are used
to reinforce anchorage when those obtained from
intra oral sources are insufficient.
3. Distalization of molars : extra oral forces can
effectively be used for distal movement of upper
molars required for correction of molar relation or
to gain space for correction of crowding or
retraction of anteriors, when worn for a minimum
of 14 hours per day.
38. 4. Molar rotation : in order to derotate a molar,
correction is achieved by adjustment of the inner
bow so that it produces a rotational force on the
molar. As soon as the correction is achieved, the face
bow should be readjusted to apply a direct distal
force.
5. Space maintenance : most effective method of
maintaining arch length is by the use of extra oral
forces, mesial moment of molars is prevented & the
face bow does not interfere with erupting teeth.
Daily wear of 8 hours is sufficient.
39. PROTRACTION FACE MASK
also called as “reverse pull
headgear” or “protraction
headgear”
When an anterior
protractory force is
required, a protraction
headgear is used.
Principle – pulling force on
the maxillary structures
with reciprocal pushing
40. force on the forehead or mandible through facial
anchorage.
It is simple and mechanically sound enough to be
used as a therapeutic procedure for treatment of
prognathic syndromes, maxillary retrusions, clefts &
mandibular prognathism.
HICKHAM (1972) claims he was the first to use a
reverse headgear. However this modality was made
popular by DELAIRE around the same time.
A reverse pull headgear basically consists of a rigid
framework, which takes anchorage from chin or
41. forehead or both for anterior traction of maxilla
using extra oral elastics that generate large amounts
of force up to 1 kg or more.
Indications for face mask
1. Growing patients having a prognathic mandible
and a retrusive maxilla ( class III malocclusion)
2. Bending the condylar neck for stimulating
temporo- mandibular joint adaptations to posterior
displacement of the chin.
3. For selective rearrangement of the palatal shelves
in cleft patients.
42. 4. Correction of post-surgical relapse after
osteotomies.
5. To treat certain accessory problems associated with
nose morphology such as lateral deviations.
Sites of anchorage
Anchorage from
chin: force is
transmitted to the
condylar cartilage
& thus has a
disadvantage of
altering the growth
of mandible.
Anchorage from
skull : disadvantage
include patient
discomfort while
sleeping, cost, and
time required in
fabrication and
fixing.
Anchorage from chin
& forehead : no
excessive force is
exerted onto the
growth cartilage.
Disadvantage is
difficulty in speech &
compromise in
aesthetics & comfort.
43. Biomechanical considerations
1. Amount of force- the amount of force required to
bring about skeletal changes is about 1 pound or
450 gms per side.
2. Direction of force- 15 – 20 degree downward pull
to the occlusal plane to produce a pure forward
translatory motion of the maxilla. If the line of
force is parallel to the occlusal plane, a forward
translation as well as an upward rotation takes
place.
44. 3. Duration of force- time taken to achieve desired
results is proportional to the amount of force
utilized. Low forces (250 gm/ side) take 13 months
to produce desired results. High forces ( 1600-
3000 gms) reduced treatment time to 4 – 21 days.
4. Frequency of use- 12 to 14 hours of wear a day.
Parts of reverse pull headgear
1. Chin cup : is used to take anchorage from the chin
area. It can be ready made or can be fabricated
from an impression of patients genial region. It is
45. connected to the rest of the face mask assembly by
means of metal rods.
2. Forehead cap : use to derive anchorage from the
forehead.
3. Elastics : used to apply a forward traction on the
upper arch. Vertical posts of the chin cup are used
to attach the elastics onto the molar tubes or hook
soldered on the arch wire. It is purely for tooth
movement.
4. Intraoral appliance : traction hooks are placed
either in the molar or premolar region.
46. 5. Metal frame : It connects the various components
such as the chin cup and forehead cap. It also has
provision to receive elastics from intraoral
appliance.
Types of reverse pull headgear
1. Protraction headgear by Hickham :
Uses the chin and top of the head for anchorage.
Force distribution is – 15% head, 85% chin.
Consists of 2 short arms in front of the mouth to
engage maxillary protraction elastics.
2 long arms run parallel to the lower border of the
mandible & go vertically up from the angle of the
47. mandible and end behind the ears.
An elastic strap is attached to the end of the long
arms to encircle the head.
Advantages –
1) better aesthetics
2) comfort
3) option of unilateral force applicability.
48. 2. Face mask of Delaire:
Uses the chin and forehead for support.
Appliance is made up of a rigid wire framework,
which is squarish & kept away from the face.
It has a forehead cap and a chin cup with a wire
running in front of the mouth used for elastic
attachment.
49. 3) Tubinger model :
Modified type of Delaire face mask.
Consists of a chin cup from which
originates 2 rods that run in the
midline & is shaped to avoid the
interference of nose.
The superior ends of the 2 rods house
a forehead cap from which elastics encircle the
head.
50. 4. Petit type of face mask :
Modified Delaire face mask.
Consists of a chin cup & a forehead
cap with a single rod running in the
midline from forehead cap to chin
cup.
A crossbar at the level of the mouth is used to
engage elastics.
Advantage – forehead cap, chin cup & the cross bar
can be adjusted to suit the patient.
51. CHIN CUP APPLIANCE
Also referred to as chin cap.
It is an extra oral orthopedic device that covers the
chin and is connected to a head gear.
Used to restrict the forward and downward growth
of the mandible.
Types of chin cups
Chin cups are of two types :
52. 1) Occipital pull chin cup –
• Derives anchorage from the occipital region.
• Used in class III malocclusions associated with mild
to moderate mandibular prognathism.
• Also indicated in patients with
slightly protrusive lower incisors
as they invariably produce
lingual tipping of the lower
incisors.
53. 2) Vertical pull chin cup –
• Derives anchorage from the parietal region of the
head.
• Indicated in patients with steep mandibular plane
angle and excessive anterior facial height.
• These patients usually exhibit
an anterior open bite.
54. Fabrication of the chin cup :
Chin cups are fabricated individually for the patient
or pre- fabricated commercially available chin cups
are used.
The fabrication of chin cup requires an impression
to be taken of the chin area.
The cast is poured and the chin cup is fabricated
using self cure acrylic resins.
55. Force magnitude & duration of wear :
At the time of appliance delivery a force of 150-300
grams per side is used.
Over the next 2 months the force is gradually
increased to 450-700 grams per side.
The patient is asked to wear the appliance for 12-14
hours a day to achieve the desired results.
56. Indications
1) Patients with mild skeletal prognathism of the
mandible.
2) In case of decreased facial height.
3) Patients who has well aligned or protrusive, but not
retroclined mandibular incisors.
