Sometimes. It's for growing patients only with overbites and helps hold back the growth of the lower jaw.
noyes,she had braces.......i think. dont know.
Some can but others don't
it all depends on how bad your crossbite is. lol. i know you have heard that 1000 times, but it is true. most persons with crossbites need braces, but not all. I would ask your ortho. :)
New techniques mean headgear does not have to be worn by anyone. While some orthodontists still use headgear it is hard to imagine trying to get anyone to do this when other options now exist.
It depends on the individual. If there are jaw alignment problems that may need headgear, you are looking at several years. If it is just straightening teeth straight up, somewhere between six months and a year.
Many celebrities, and people that need orthodontic help to rearrange their teeth. In fact, personaly, I have braces.
Headgear is worn either for protection or for fashion, sometimes both.
To my knowledge, no. Invisalign can only fix the placement of teeth, but all bite problems must be fixed through the use of traditional braces, headgear, and bands.
no dogs don't need braces
The orthodontist applies braces to your teeth and tightens the wires that join the braces. Tightening is usually done on a monthly basis. Your orthodontist will have a game plan in place for how the teeth will be moved, either by wire tightening, or by the use of headgear and/or elastics.
Oh, no! Very few orthodontists still use the braces that go around your head! The most popular kind now is removable, and you can't even see it. Invisaline, I think it's called.
A dentist will usually tell you if you need braces or not.
