So my daughter is now 16 and started wearing braces 6 months ago. Two month ago she got headgear to wear with her braces. The headgear consists of a facebow and has straps around the neck and over the head that hold it in place, it is called combination headgear.
At the last appointment, the orthodontist told me that it was possible to wire the Facebow into the mouth so that my daughter could not remove the Facebow from her mouth. I mentioned this option at home and threatened to have it done if she didn't wear the headgear as prescribed. If you try to force her she's likely to push back from you so maybe you could help her make her own decision and show her some support? It's such a tricky time being a teenager isn't it, even though they fight and argue with you for their independence they still need to feel you're always on their team supporting them all the way.Please don’t go through with the appointment.
