Abe Why the headgear?
This appliance is one of the best ways of moving upper teeth. When worn well it will greatly reduce your overjet by backing up your upper teeth and jaw. (See Abe.)

How will it feel?
You can expect your upper molars to be sore the first night or two that you wear it.

When do I wear it?
We recommend you wear your Headgear 12-14 hours out of the 24 hour day. Headgear (Yes, you can and should wear it more!) When you miss a day it takes three days to get back to where you were. Remember: The more your wear your Headgear, the better the response and the fewer months it will ultimately need to be worn.

Exceptions to wear:
Never wear it during rough play and contact sports.

Always release the strap from the facebow before placing or removing the Headgear.

Always bring your Headgear to each and every appointment so the doctor can adjust it.
