Does anyone have any experience of their child or anyone they know having one of these fitted? The are designed to alter the shape of the jaw so the top and bottom teeth meet properly and have to be worn for about a year. My dd has had one for a couple of days and is still in constant pain with it and can't sleep. Also it makes her chin stick out more and face look fat so she feels ugly and miserable. I keep telling her it will all be worth it but if its going to make her face shape change forever I'm really worried.
