Reverse pull headgear is most commonly used for correcting?

class 1 normal bite
class 2 deep bite
class 2 open bite
class 3 maxillary deficiency

The correct answer is: class 3 maxillary deficiency

Reverse pull headgear, also known as a face mask, is most commonly used for correcting a class 3 maxillary deficiency. This type of deficiency is characterized by an underdeveloped upper jaw, causing the lower jaw to protrude forward and creating a skeletal class 3 malocclusion. It is not typically used for correcting other types of bites such as class 1 normal bite, class 2 deep bite, or class 2 open bite. While it may seem like it could potentially address these other issues, reverse pull headgear is specifically designed for the correction of a class 3 maxillary deficiency and may not be effective for other types of malocclusions.
