To do so, ask your kid to put their teeth exactly on each other, in a way that their molar teeth touch each other. Now, look at your kid from the opposite side. Normally, their maxilla\u2019s teeth must be about 2 mm ahead of their mandible\u2019s teeth. So, if you notice that your kid\u2019s lower jaw\u2019s teeth are ahead of their upper jaw\u2019s teeth, or you notice that their upper and lower jaws\u2019 teeth are placed exactly on each other, you need to show your kid to an orthodontist as soon as possible. Using facemasks is a useful way to treat the jaw disorders in children.<\/p>\n\n\n  \n  <nav class=\"oxyplug-toc\">\n    <div class=\"toggle-toc\">\n  <span>Table of Contents<\/span>\n  <a href=\"#\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-label=\"Show\">\n    <span>Hide<\/span>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n    <ul>\n              <li class=\"toc-h2\">\n          <a href=\"#what-is-facemask\">\n            What Is Facemask?          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n              <li class=\"toc-h2\">\n          <a href=\"#components-of-facemasks\">\n            Components Of Facemasks          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n              <li class=\"toc-h2\">\n          <a href=\"#some-points-about-using-facemasks\">\n            Some Points About Using Facemasks          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n              <li class=\"toc-h2\">\n          <a href=\"#disadvantages-of-orthodontic-facemask\">\n            Disadvantages Of Orthodontic Facemask          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n          <\/ul>\n  <\/nav>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-facemask\">What Is Facemask?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understatement of malocclusion in little children would exacerbate such disorders in the next few years. Failing to treat such problems in childhood would force these people to not only spend hefty costs in adulthood, but also sometimes they would have no choice but doing surgery. One of the functions of the orthodontic treatment is using facemask to reform the children\u2019s jaw disorders and problems, which has been approved as very useful and effective. The problem with such devices is that they are large and extraoral. Prof. Abdolreza Jamilian, the orthodontist and jaw surgeon fellowship, has solved this problem. He has succeeded in inventing a small intraoral orthodontic device which mostly is a good replacement for the facemask. To find more information about this invention please refer to <a href=\"https:\/\/jamilian.net\/en\/patents\/\">patents<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facemasks are placed out of 8-13 years old children\u2019s mouths with the aim of reforming the problem of malocclusion of their teeth and also stimulating the growth of maxilla. Facemask is a proper treatment for people who suffer from mild underbite disorder. It seems that, in these people, the lower jaw has moved forward. This device plays a very helpful role in dragging down and forwards the upper jaw; hence, people won\u2019t need any difficult surgery in adulthood and even if they need a surgery, their surgery would be very limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facemask is a sort of <a href=\"https:\/\/jamilian.net\/en\/what-is-removable-orthodontic-appliances\/\">removable orthodontic<\/a> treatment, recommended to treat and refine the upper jaws which have not grown sufficiently. In the orthodontic treatments, the device acts like an orthopedic device and plays a key role in treating the jaw disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is necessary to remind you that facemasks are not an independent orthodontic device and must be used along with other orthodontic devices and equipment to treat and refine the jaw problems and disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"components-of-facemasks\">Components Of Facemasks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The orthodontic facemask is composed of three main pieces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Headcap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Face frame<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headgear connections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main body of the facemask is an integrated piece made of stainless steel. This device is composed of three components including headcap, face frame and headgear connections. The device also is equipped with settable pads used for placing it on the chin and forehead. Both the chin and forehead of the patient are fixed with a metallic shaft and frame-like. The main body of the facemask is made of a frame and a central shaft connected to the patient\u2019s head. This frame has a mouthpiece which is placed against the patient\u2019s mouth and it facilitates the connection between the elastic band and the mouth directly. Finally, these connections are connected into things installed in the patient\u2019s mouth, so it provides the necessary force for dragging the jaw forwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-40290 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/close-up-of-orthodontic-facemask.jpg\" alt=\"close up of orthodontic facemask\" class=\"wp-image-40290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/close-up-of-orthodontic-facemask.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/close-up-of-orthodontic-facemask-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/close-up-of-orthodontic-facemask-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/close-up-of-orthodontic-facemask-660x371.jpg 660w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/close-up-of-orthodontic-facemask-990x556.jpg 990w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/close-up-of-orthodontic-facemask-726x408.jpg 726w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/close-up-of-orthodontic-facemask-330x185.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Orthodontic facemask<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"some-points-about-using-facemasks\">Some Points About Using Facemasks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please follow the following tips while you use a facemask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Continuous use of the facemask device in order to feel its efficiency and effectiveness;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To avoid any manipulation of its consisting pieces;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To avoid stop using the facemask without consulting a dentist;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regular use of toothbrush in order to keep the facemask and its plaque clean;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To keep the facemask plaque safe when you don\u2019t use it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is worthy to note that the best time to use a facemask is from 6pm until 6am. Patients need to wear their facemasks at least for 18 hours a full day in order to be able to feel its impact on their recovery. It is recommended to avoid using the device before going to bed, because it brings about a condition in which you may feel more pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"disadvantages-of-orthodontic-facemask\">Disadvantages Of Orthodontic Facemask<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, using a facemask stimulates the skin of the chin and forehead of people who wear it. To avoid this problem against your skin, you can smear those parts of your face which are in direct contact of the device with the talcum powder or in harsher cases, you can put a piece of soft rag beneath the device\u2019s pad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people who have to use this device feel discomfort about the appearance of this device and their appearance after wearing it. Moreover, the big size of this device makes it difficult to use it for little children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the above-mentioned disadvantages of facemasks and also the point that the new generation of children hate to wear extraoral orthodontic devices, Dr. Jamilian, <a href=\"https:\/\/jamilian.net\/en\/orthodontist\/\">the great Iranian orthodontist<\/a>, has invented a tiny orthodontic device which can replace the facemask and the headgear. This tiny intraoral device is used to drag the upper jaw forwards. This invention of Dr. Jamilian has been recorded and approved by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). It is used also in Germany and France, as well. It is worthy to say that the news of this invention was broadcasted by the News Channel of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For children diagnosis of jaw disorders is simple, and easy.
