Dr. Fernando Morales Face Mask Fit. The Morales PLUS Protraction Face Mask features a small forehead rest and chin cup yet still provides adequate mainframe support. The horizontal crossbar can be adjusted vertically to change the angle of elastic force. The anatomic mainframe is constructed from a rectangular stainless steel bar, rigid enough to support even the heaviest elastics. The Morales PLUS Protraction Face Mask is dynamic in design, this means, that both the forehead rest and chin cup slide freely along the vertical mainframe, allowing patients to open and close their mouths without restriction. However, it can also be used without allowing the opening movement. Read more Benefits. The Right Design. Because it is design is fully adjustable, it can be adapted to the anatomy and needs of each Class III patients. Adaptation. The forehead rest can rotate forward when patients open their mouths. This could happen when the distance between the forehead rest and the upper stop of the chin cup support is short. In this case, to improve the face mask stability, move the upper chin cup stop slightly lower on the mainframe. Comfortable Chin Fit. A common problem with any face mask is the fit to the patient’s chin because the pressure around the chin cup is not distributed uniformly. The Morales PLUS Protraction Face Mask comes with an improved chin cup pad that covers the edges of the chin cup to help avoid direct pressure on the patient’s soft tissue.

To ensure balance, position the elastics in the same groove on both sides of the horizontal crossbar. If an asymmetry still exists, try crossing the elastics to their opposite side on the crossbar.
