Abstract
Cervical traction is being superseded by occipital traction. Headcaps are linked to a face bow, or through cheekwires, direct to the archwire. The direction of this force is controlled and specific and in line with the aims of treatment. Various types are described and the indications for their use discussed.Keywords
