Golden Ratio Facial Caliper

Facial Caliper

Precision Meets Aesthetics

The Golden Ratio Facial Caliper is a must-have tool for aesthetic professionals who want to achieve natural balance and beauty in their treatments. Rooted in the principles of the Phi ratio (1.618), this caliper allows practitioners to measure facial proportions with accuracy and apply the golden ratio to treatment planning.

Why the Golden Ratio?

For centuries, artists, architects, and scientists have used the golden ratio as a universal marker of harmony and symmetry. In aesthetics, applying this principle helps practitioners design treatments that enhance a patient’s natural features while maintaining balance and proportion.

The BiteStrip®

The BiteStrip

Low-Cost. Single Use. Scientifically Accurate.

The BiteStrip®, available exclusively from Great Lakes, is an invaluable diagnostic tool for identifying and measuring bruxism. Many patients may be unaware—or unconvinced—that they grind or clench their teeth. With BiteStrip®, you can provide scientific evidence to support your diagnosis and confidently guide treatment planning.

Why BiteStrip®?

  • Affordable & Single Use – Low-cost device designed for convenient at-home testing.

  • Accurate Results – Records the existence and frequency of nighttime bruxism.

  • Easy for Patients – Simple placement, minimal setup, and results available by morning.

  • Trusted in Clinical Practice – Helps practitioners validate bruxism for improved patient compliance.

Ideal for Patients Who…

  • Have bruxism caused by an occlusal trigger

  • Require restorative or cosmetic dental procedures

  • Suffer from sleep apnea

  • Experience temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain

How It Works

1. The patient places the self-adhesive BiteStrip® directly over the masseter muscle before bedtime.
2. Before sleep, they perform 3–4 voluntary clenches to establish an individual baseline.
3. The built-in microprocessor records clenching events throughout the night as a percentage of the baseline.
4. Results are ready the next morning—providing clear data on the presence and frequency of bruxism.

A Smarter Approach to Diagnosis

With BiteStrip®, you can strengthen patient trust, improve treatment acceptance, and gain objective insights into bruxism—without expensive equipment or complicated testing.
