title: [Practical method of fabrication and application of Delaire-Verdon type orthopedic face-mask].
abstract: The Delaire-Verdon type face mask is an efficient extra-oral orthopedic appliance used in protraction of the maxilla. In our clinic, we use this orthopedic face mask in order to stimulate maxillary development, especially in cleft palate cases. The main purpose of this article is to introduce a practical and economical fabrication technique which we have developed by taking impressions from the individual. This technique consists of an extra oral appliance which is custom-made for each patient and an easily applied anchorage system. We feel that these make the treatment more tolerable for the patient.
