Product overview
Mouth mirror heads: surfaces, sizes and fittings.
The mirror head is the reflective part of a mouth mirror. It screws onto a handle and is replaced when the surface is scratched or worn, which is why heads are bought in volume. They are used for indirect vision, light reflection and gentle retraction.
Surface type changes what the clinician sees. A plane mirror gives a true-size image, a concave mirror magnifies it, and a front-surface mirror reflects from the glass surface itself, which avoids the double image of a conventional back-surface mirror. Diameter and fitting type (cone socket or simple stem) must match the mouth mirror handle, so we confirm them against your sample.

Buyer FAQ
Mouth Mirror Head: questions buyers ask.
What is the difference between plane, concave and front-surface mirrors?
Plane mirrors give a true-size image, concave mirrors magnify, and front-surface mirrors reflect from the surface of the glass, which avoids a double image.
How do I know the head will fit my handle?
The fitting type and thread must match. Send a handle or the thread details so the fitting can be confirmed.
What diameters are available?
Several diameters can be supplied. Confirm the size you use, or send a sample.
Are mirror heads reusable?
They are intended for repeated use until the surface wears. Cleaning and sterilisation follow the user's validated procedure.
Can I order heads in bulk with private-label packaging?
Yes. Heads are quoted by quantity per pack, and packaging and marking can be agreed.
