The Handy Head Gear Guide

Besides braces, here is another device you may
encounter on your road to perfect teeth. The head gear. Head gear fixes your overbite. It is usually a wire frame inserted into a bracket glued to your back teeth. The strap can either go across your neck, or over your head. Now both of us have head gear. Trust us even though it looks weird, hurts, and is a big pain, it really does work!

Now here are a couple tips for dealing with the headgear:

1. Do not eat while wearing it.
2. Schedule how long you wear it so that it you can fit all your hours in without screwing up your day.
3. Wear it routinely. You will just pay for the time you skip wearing it by having to wear it longer.

We know it's hard, but, if you do end up getting headgear, following these tips will make it a lot easier.
