Dr. Courtney Lavigne introduces reverse pull headgear as a valuable tool for promoting growth and correcting skeletal issues in children. The headgear guides the upper jaw forward to rectify bite irregularities and create space for proper tooth alignment, ideally between the ages of seven to ten. Consistency in wearing the headgear for about twelve to fourteen hours a day, including during sleep, ensures optimal progress in the shortest possible time. The duration of treatment varies depending on the severity of the jaw issue, typically lasting between six to twelve months. Replacement of worn-out pads on the headgear is important to keep the appliance functioning effectively.
