Do i need to wear twin block aplliances to school?

Question

These things are very difficult to wear, especially at places like school. Now i know that the treatment may take a bit longer if i don't wear them 24/7, but will it severely affect my progress, assuming I wear them all the other time?

Answer 1

Yes 24 hours a day and only take it out when eating or brushing, treatment may not only take longer, you may not even get the correction you need

Answer 2

Twin block appliances need to be worn 24/7 or they will not be of any use at all, even when eating.  They are designed to changed your jaw alignment and cannot do that if they are not worn all of the time.

You will get used to them, in fact, will not be comfortable without them in a very short time, if you wear them as you are supposed to.

The only time you should remove them is to brush your teeth.

Answer 3

you need to wear then 24 hours or you will not get treated. You need to take it out only when you have to clean then. You have to wear them while eating too. They are functional appliance.
