Braces and Headgear..?!
Question: Braces and Headgear!.!.!?
Okay, so I know I am supposed to be wearing my headgear for eight hours or more a day (or night) so I choose to do my hours at night while I am sleeping!. I guess my teeth start to hurt and I toss and turn so half the time I wake up and my headgear is on the floor!. I think I am ripping off my headgear in the middle of the night (I lost a back holder-onner to the wire thingy to doing it) is there anyway someone has learned to help them keep it on all night!? And, when your teeth hurt from like bands does it mean they are moving!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I had to wear it 16 hrs a day!. But since - like you - I would take it off at nights I decided to wear it during the days and take it off while sleeping!.
Sleep is important! It's important for your mood, your attention and memory, and your immune health!.
If you can't sleep well, consider wearing it during the day :)
And yes, when it hurts it's because the teeth are moving!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I wear headgear and I choose to wear it when I get home from school around ( 3:30) then I take it off around midnight!. My mom wakes me up!. I don't know what the problem is for you but I would consider how I do it!.!.!. If that doesnt work then ask your mom or dentist if you can just wear the braces and not the headgear!. You dentist may consider somthing deifferent!. And during the summer and when you are off of school like on the weekends then choose to wear the headgear during the day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
