What is headgear in orthodontics:

A similar device is the high traction harness, which also has a connection cable to the teeth, and a strap that goes behind and above the head. These types of headdresses are typically used to correct excessive overjet in children, because it limits the growth of the upper jaw.

How it work :

There are two ways that harness orthodontic works. The first is that it can actually pull teeth from front to back if worn 18 hours or more. The second is the most common application. If used during the patient's sleep (ie, 8 hours at night), the harness can have an effect on the growth of orthodontics. Think of it as putting a brake on the growth of the upper jaw, while the child continues to grow. If worn and patients grows, you can correct the malocclusion.

If a large space between the teeth is closing, for example, the posterior teeth might be pulled forward as the front teeth are pulled back; this could lead to problems of misalignment and bites. In other cases, the front teeth may need to be pulled forward instead of backward. Posterior teeth can not help here; This is a job for headdresses.

Some types of headgear have a strap that goes behind the head or neck; whole head is used as an anchor. Other types, called "reverse flip" touched, have a strap that comes over chin or forehead; they can pull teeth forward. The helmet can even influence proper growth of facial structures - that is why it is usually seen in preteens, whose growth is not yet complete.
