Answers:
Congratulations on getting your braces!. It is normal to not have anything removable before your braces go on!. It is also normal to be given headgear at the same time your braces go on!. The more you wear your headgear, the quicker you will be done with it!. In the office I worked, we ask our patients to wear their headgear a minimum of 12 - 14 hours per day!. Consistency is the key!. If you wear it here and there, it is not as effective!.

Good luck with your treatment! Keep in mind that it is normal to have some discomfort with your new braces and headgear at first!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That's perfectly normal, everyone's teeth are different!. The headgear is also normal, although not everyone needs it!. Wear it as often as you can, 22 hours a day sounds a bit extreme but do your best! Once its over, just remember you'll have lovely teeth!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

hey sam, i am also looking forward to have my braces, i think headgears here are not used, the last time i saw someone is i think it was about ten years ago, but i think your orthodontist will not give it to you if it won't do any help or if it is unnecessary!. goodluck sam! and always smile, lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

I think it is starting to become fairly normal yes as now may people are getting fixed braces and having headgear to go with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
