Dental Reverse Pull Headgear for Orthodontic

A Reverse Pull Headgear (RPHG) is a growth modifying appliance, which is designed to improve the position of the upper jaw and to correct the bite. It is usually used for people who have an underbite, a condition where the top front teeth bite behind the bottom front teeth.

This appliance is generally used to correct an underbite. It gently pulls the upper jaw forward (instead of back), which allows it to catch up with the lower jaw. The appliance consists of two pads—one resting on the forehead, the other on the chin, connected by a vertical frame.
