Orthodontic extraoral headgear is an external device used in braces treatment to apply controlled pressure to teeth or jaws from outside the mouth. It helps guide jaw growth, correct misalignment, or reduce excessive tooth protrusion by using straps and bows that connect to intraoral appliances.
These devices are typically custom-fitted and regulated as medical devices, often requiring compliance with dental or orthodontic standards. They may be supplied as single-use or reusable systems, depending on the manufacturer’s design and intended clinical application.
