Adherence to instructions and fluctuation of force magnitude in cervical headgear therapy.

CONCLUSIONS:: Children with lower force in CHG seem to adhere better to the instructions for CHG use. Daily rhythm also influences the time of appliance use regardless of force magnitude. The force can be set to a certain magnitude level, even though there is substantial individual variability. PMID: 30451531 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
