Look at the photo of young Willy Wonka below. If THAT was your only option for straight teeth, would you wear it for at least a year?

Yes, I'd gladly wear it if my teeth would be perfect afterward.

Only if an ortho who does this headger offers me a major role in the horror movie, so that I can make big $$$ while wearing it :-*
Had full mouth metal braces for 21 months. Debonded April 2013. Now wearing clear plastic retainers every other night.

Not a blessed chance. If the usefulness of each part was explained to me...and the whole thing could be removed and was only to be worn at night.... and I lived alone... I still probably wouldn't!

So lets see if we can figure it out. There seems to be a reverse pull headgear....that part is based on an actual appliance. Anything else we recognize?

I would have to give that a big fat no! Can you imagine trying to pull a shirt on over that... I would probably have really big shirt neck holes from stretching them out...

This was a HUUUUGE factor in why I waited so long to get braces. I was terrified that I would need an ungodly contraption such as this. Luckily for me I don't..... so far. When I first saw this in the movie I just thought to myself, "oh dear god...."
