What is cervical orthodontic headgear?
Now a days orthodontic
headgear is most normally used to the treatment of a large number of
serious illnesses and injuries.Especially harness orthodontics is
often used by young adults with thepurpose of fixing jaw problems.
The main tasks had presented this useful device include improving the
person's jaw to grow in the right way and to keep it protected from
possible unnecessary conditions and more serious problems in the
future. In addition, it orthodontic headgear is sometimes used by
adults for the treatment of certain conditions.
What is headgear in orthodontics:
A similar device is the
high traction harness, which also has a connection cable to the
teeth, and a strap that goes behind and above the head. These types
of headdresses are typically used to correct excessive overjet in
children, because it limits the growth of the upper jaw.
How it work :
There are two ways that
harness orthodontic works. The first is that it can actually pull
teeth from front to back if worn 18 hours or more. The second is the
most common application. If used during the patient's sleep (ie, 8
hours at night), the harness can have an effect on the growth of
orthodontics. Think of it as putting a brake on the growth of the
upper jaw, while the child continues to grow. If worn and patients
grows, you can correct the malocclusion.
If a large space between
the teeth is closing, for example, the posterior teeth might be
pulled forward as the front teeth are pulled back; this could lead to
problems of misalignment and bites. In other cases, the front teeth
may need to be pulled forward instead of backward. Posterior teeth
can not help here; This is a job for headdresses.
Some types of headgear
have a strap that goes behind the head or neck; whole head is used as
an anchor. Other types, called "reverse flip" touched, have
a strap that comes over chin or forehead; they can pull teeth
forward. The helmet can even influence proper growth of facial
structures - that is why it is usually seen in preteens, whose growth
is not yet complete.
What is the benefits?
High traction harness is
a type of orthodontic braces used to correct alignment problems of
the jaw. If your orthodontist has planned for high-traction headgear,
it is usually to correct the alignment when the upper jaw is too far
forward, the lower jaw is too far back, or there is a combination of
the two conditions.
Harness high traction can also help control your orthodontist the growth pattern of the jaws, in order to help create a final facial profile is more pleasing to the eye, with the ideal jaw, teeth and balancing lips .
A high-traction headgear
theory is its ability to prevent vertical growth, unwanted jaws in
patients with good compliance. If your orthodontist recommends
high-traction headgear, time is critical as is the cooperation of his
son with instructions for use.
Patients who are candidates for high-traction headgear should see an orthodontist in order to plan treatment at the right time in the growth stage of the patient.
