What is headgear treatment?

Orthodontic headgear is used with braces to softly and precisely influence the mobility of your teeth and jaw. “Headgear” refers to orthodontic items worn partially outside the mouth that exert additional gentle yet continuous force to move the teeth properly and direct the growth of the face and jaws.

Headgear is usually advised for children and adolescents who are still growing and have moderate to severe bite difficulties, such as overbites, underbites, or Class II malocclusions, in which the upper jaw and teeth are too far forward concerning the lower jaw.

When should I wear it?

The length of time a patient wears headgear varies depending on their condition, but orthodontists often advocate wearing it for 12-14 hours per day, sometimes in the evenings and overnight. Consistent wear is critical to attaining the intended effects. Your orthodontist will advise you on what headgear you need and when to wear it to get the best results.

Types of headgear: 

Below are the types: 

• Cervical pull headgear: 

The cervical pull headgear can be worn when the upper teeth are slightly or excessively ahead of the lower front teeth.

The cervical pull headgear, when combined with braces, helps correct malocclusions. Overcrowded teeth can be corrected using cervical pull headgear.

• Reverse pull headgear: 

A thin sheet affixed to the forehead and chin is popular with reverse pull headgear. A narrow frame of face mask connects the forehead and chin.

A reverse pull headgear can be used to treat lower teeth or jaws that are located above or ahead of the upper jaw. Children with crossbites should use reverse-pull headgear. A crossbite is a type of bite disorder in which the lower teeth are outside the upper teeth as they come together.

• High pull headgear: 

High-pull headgear features straps linked to the top of the head, behind the skull, and around the upper jaw. Its major role is to promote jaw development and enhance tooth alignment. A high-pull helmet is quite useful for treating open bites. An open bite occurs when the upper and lower front teeth do not connect when closed.
