Less time in braces? Tell me more.
The Binator, like the Sagittal appliance, the Twin Block, the Andreaen Activator and the Frankel, is a "functional appliance." These appliances activate muscle function to guide growth. The practical result: it can dramatically reduce your time in braces.
Of course, there's a catch. For a functional appliance to be effective, it must be worn at least 14 hours out of every 24. That means you have to wear it all the time you are in the house, awake and asleep, except for brushing, meals, and contact sports (which your mother probably doesn't want you doing in the house anyway).
It's a great effort-leads-to-reward system. The greater the number of hours you wear your functional appliance, the fewer the number of days you will need to wear it. So go looking for reasons to wear your functional appliance, rather than excuses not to, and you'll soon be done with it.
