Chin Cap Set - Denim Material

The Chin Cap is an extra-oral orthopedic device designed to correct mandibular prognathism (protruding lower jaw) in growing adolescents. By applying controlled downward and backward forces, it helps restrict excessive mandibular growth while allowing the upper jaw (maxilla) to develop normally, improving facial balance.

Mechanism:

• Elastic bands secure the chin cup over the crown of the head, delivering moderate, consistent pressure to the mandible.
• This pressure inhibits forward growth of the lower jaw, while the maxilla grows unimpeded.

Treatment Effects:

• Reduces mandibular protrusion.
• Promotes harmonious jaw alignment.
• Improves facial profile in Class III malocclusion cases.

Clinical Use:

• Patient Age: Adolescents (during active growth phases).
• Wear Time: 12+ hours/day (typically for 6 months to 3 years, depending on severity).
• Materials: Durable nylon straps, PP plastic chin cup, and medical-grade elastic.

Material of Construction:

• Made up of Denim Jeans material, Plastic PP chin cap and elastic.
