Thank you for your replies! I have talked to her, again. We went to the ortho today and he was of course not pleased with the lack of result. I think she listened a bit more to what her ortho told her and is starting to realise that cooperation from her part is essential. The "train tracks"...

I have just finished my second time around with braces and my 13 year old daughter has just started her treatment. At the moment she is in headgear (and has been for four months), but later in (in about a year) she will get braces ("train tracks"). The ortho has said the hg should be worn ...

I don't think I could wear mine in public at all. It was bad enough that time the ortho made me sit and wait with it on in the waiting room outside his office...

A fellow Swede with braces!?

Called the ortho office just before Christmas and was told I would get used to sleeping with it. But another week has passed by since then and still not one night where I haven't taken it off.

Anyone who had this trouble with theirs and who can give me advice?

This with sleeping in hg... I have had my headgear for about three weeks now. Almost every morning I wake up and realise that in the middle of the night I have taken it off in my sleep. Has anyone else here had this problem, and what did you do? I find it hard to keep the minimum time this way...
