What Happens If I “Forget” to wear my facebow?
A. If you do not wear your facebow, your orthodontist will not be able to stretch your mouth so all of your teeth fit. Usually, the orthodontist will try another alternative. He may wire in the facebow, so you cannot take it out! He may try a more painful appliance. You need to wear your facebow! Your braces will not work unless you wear them.
