Commitment to wear appliance
I just counseled a young patient not to start treatment unless she was willing to wear an oral appliance during her school time (all day). She was concerned that someone may see her appliance and make fun of her. This was a teen who is missing some school already because of her headaches, but still had enough concern about peer pressure that she didn't know if she could commit to full time wear. I suggested we not start treatment until she was sure and pledged to wear it, or wait until school was over for the summer to start treatment. I am not sure want she will decide.
