Class lll facemask alternative

Skin irritations are just one of the many reasons young patients give 
for not wearing the face mask.  I have also tried mole skin, cotton, 
tissues, etc.

Over the years I have experimented with various maxillary protraction 
appliances.  So far the Modified Tandem Appliance has yielded the best 
cooperation and subsequently the best clinical changes.  I have 
published a case study in the April 2003 JCO.  The link is
