We at Ortho Kinetics have developed a computer program that shows the relationship between headgear strap extension and force levels generated by all of our releasable headgear force modules.

You can also see the relationship between headgear strap extension and amount of travel remaining.

This is called the OKC Force Tool. Download the free program here.

What the OKC Force Tool program illustrates it that every progressive force headgear module, has a progressively greater force generated the further the strap is pulled.

We show you the force generated by each of our force modules. Of course such information can also be seen from looking at our force charts. The program better compares quickly force levels made by each type of headgear module.

NiTi powered headgear modules provide a constant force as the strap is pulled. Stainless Steel spring powered modules provide a progressive force level.
