This week Miah got her much anticipated Head Gear. Three weeks of prepping for the retainer meant six trips to the orthodontist as the separator elastics kept falling out (and one possibly got digested...it is currently MIA). She did well getting the appliance cemented in and was then fitted for her head gear. She is to wear this 10-14 hours per day when she is at home. The goal is that her upper jaw will move forward over time. It is estimated at this time to take 6-12 months. She hates it but is being compliant.
You are all so brave. She has a long journey ahead but clearly a fabulous support team to help her through. xo
