Is the usage of headgear really appropriate?

Q.
Is this method appropriate for children (girl age 9)? Can it be used to avoid using headgear for a severe overbite? Thank you.
A.
The earlier you initiate treatment the better it is.  I would consult with a certified Orthodontic specialist to determine what is the best course of treatment.  Headgear is likely needed if it has been recommended.  Avoiding it will only compromise the outcome, prolong treatment and cause additional treatment to be needed.  Dr. Lemongello
