Headgear is typically used in growing patients to correct overbites by holding back the growth of the upper jaw, allowing the lower jaw to catch up.
In reality orthodontic headgear is still the bane of most young orthodontic patients. Fortunately the ultimate cosmetic improvement to the teeth and bite is well worth the temporary discomfort. What is orthodontic headgear? Orthodontic headgear is an orthodontic appliance that is worn on the outside of the mouth. It applies unique forces to the developing jaw. Orthodontic headgear is attached to equipment within the mouth, such as a facebow. The facebow is connected to the braces themselves, usually to brackets, bands, and buccal tubes in the mouth. The headgear anchors to the head by thin metal arches and straps. These pieces transmit force to the facebow.
