Frequently asked questions

What is the primary purpose of the Reverse Pull Adjustable Facemask and how does it work?

The Reverse Pull Adjustable Facemask is designed to correct Class III malocclusion, a condition where the lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper jaw. It applies reverse traction forces externally to the face, guiding jaw alignment during orthodontic treatment. The device uses stainless steel, plastic, and foam pads to distribute pressure while being adjusted by a trained orthodontist.

Is this device single-use or reusable, and what cleaning or maintenance is required?

The Reverse Pull Adjustable Facemask is reusable and classified under 21 CFR 872.5500 for orthodontic headgear. Since it is not sterile by design, it must follow standard dental practice protocols for cleaning and maintenance to ensure hygiene and functionality between uses.

How is the device regulated, and what regulatory bodies have approved it?

The device holds FDA 510(k) clearance (K162543) and complies with MDR (Medical Device Regulation) standards. It is classified as Class II under the Dental advisory committee (DE) and is substantially equivalent to predicate devices, as confirmed by the FDA’s decision.

Who should fit and adjust this facemask, and what considerations should be taken during use?

The Reverse Pull Adjustable Facemask must be fitted and adjusted by a trained orthodontist due to its specialized design for correcting jaw alignment. Proper sizing and positioning are critical for effectiveness, and adjustments should follow clinical guidelines to avoid discomfort or misalignment.

What materials is the device made from, and how does this affect its durability?

The facemask is constructed from stainless steel, plastic, and foam pads, which provide structural integrity and comfort. Stainless steel ensures durability for repeated use, while the foam pads help distribute pressure evenly during orthodontic treatment. These materials are chosen for longevity and compatibility with clinical environments.
