ABOUT HEADGEAR AND FACE MASKS FOR GROWTH GUIDANCE
The purpose of traditional headgear and facemasks are to help improve an extensive overbite, a dental concern that causes the upper teeth to conceal almost all or the entire set of lower teeth. They work by stimulating forward growth of the lower jaw. These forms of overbite correction utilize the top of the head or the upper back of the neck as an anchor for the appliance.
Reverse headgear and face masks, on the other hand, are used to correct an underbite. These appliances work to redirect growth of the upper jaw and establish a more even bite when smiling. We can help determine whether you or your child may be experiencing an underbite through x-ray examination.
