title: [Acceptance of headgear in children and teenagers].
abstract: This survey may provide a starting point for the improvement of the acceptability of headgears for children and teenagers during orthodontic treatment by taking aesthetic and material factors into consideration when selecting these appliances. The extent to which these findings are allowed to influence the planning of future treatment must be decided on an individual base; it is to be expected that such considerations will contribute both to the success of therapeutic aims and a reduction of costs in orthodontics.
