3M Friction Fit Stops for Facebow Inner Bow
Small stops used on the inner bow of an orthodontic facebow, functioning as spacers or stops during extraoral traction treatment.
3M Friction Fit Stops are a small orthodontic auxiliary used on the inner bow of a facebow, where they function as stops or spacers to help position the appliance correctly relative to the teeth and archwire. Facebows are used to deliver extraoral traction in orthodontic treatment, most often in growing patients who need additional anchorage that intraoral appliances cannot provide on their own, and getting the inner bow positioned consistently matters for both comfort and treatment accuracy.
Friction fit stops attach by gripping the wire directly rather than needing solder or crimping, which lets the orthodontist adjust their position at chairside as treatment progresses. As a small consumable component, they are ordered and stocked alongside other facebow accessories such as carrying cases and complete facebow assemblies.
