My last 2 kids got the worst teeth with underbites. Brecken had to start his expander and braces really young when he was 7. Landon also is following in Breckenes footsteps. He will not need braces just yet, but we started our 9 month time with the expander in. Once that has been in about 6 weeks we then will get a headgear. None of my kids have had to have a headgear, I did at night and I hated it so I feel bad for landon. Hopefully they have made the head gear more comfortable to sleep in. His jaw needs to be moved forward now or he will have to have jaw surgery later in life to move it. So we at least caught it in time to get it fixed while he is young enough. He will wear the headgear for a year and then we will reassess where his team and jaw are at. We have been wearing the expander for about 3 weeks and his 2 front teeth have already started to move themselves forward over the bottom teeth. Here is to the long journey he is in for with all the mough hardware.
