What to expect

  • Headgear may make your mouth sore or give you a slight headache for the first week.  After you get used to it you’ll feel better.  You may take over-the-counter pain relievers for any discomfort.
  • Headgear should be worn at least 12 hours every day. The more you wear it, the sooner you will be done.

Headgear safety                           

  • Always unhook the strap before removing headgear.
  • Never pull headgear over your eyes.
  • Never use force when putting on or taking off headgear.
  • Always remove headgear when playing sports or riding your bike.  Remove it any time that there’s a chance it will get pulled.
  • For comfort, sleep on your back or place your pillow so the facebow doesn’t push into your mouth.

Caring for headgear

  • Remove your headgear before you eat.
  • Brush your facebow with a toothbrush and toothpaste.
  • Always keep your headgear in the bag provided when not being worn.
  • If your headgear breaks, doesn’t fit right or gets lost please call us.
