24/7 headgear?

#1 Post by Zara9 »

Hi guys, about a month ago by orthodontist put me in 24 hour headgear wear. I may only take it out to eat so otherwise it must stay strapped around my head. Anybody else in full time headgear?

What type of brackets do you have?
Sectional brace with Damon clear brackets fitted to front 6 upper teeth 3 January 2012
Brackets added to premolars 2 April 2012
Estimated treatment time originally 6-9 months. Brace removed on 22 July 2013 after 18 months and 19 days
Now enjoying bonded upper retainer plus part time essix/hawley( I have both)
