Function Generating Bite (FGB) devices present a promising avenue for correcting dental issues in small children, starting as early as 4 years old, contingent on the condition and diagnosis. However, the success of treatment hinges significantly on the child's compliance. Various factors influence adherence, with studies shedding light on the nuanced dynamics.

Perceived Benefits: Parents and children alike weigh perceived health benefits, anticipation of reduced oral problems, peer influences, and improvement in dental self-image as crucial factors.

Age-Dependent Assessments: The child's age plays a pivotal role in assessing health benefits, self-image improvement, and decreased oral problems.

Direct Impact of Discomfort: Negative impacts such as discomfort or pain, impaired speech, and difficulties chewing directly diminish compliance across all age groups.

Compliance in FGB Wear: The encouraging news is that compliance among children wearing FGB devices is notably high. This can be attributed to the device's non-intrusive nature and its exclusive use during nighttime. Unlike some orthodontic devices that may cause discomfort, FGBs stand out for their comfort. Even in cases of certain conditions, like Trisomy 21, where challenges may arise, it's often worthwhile to attempt device acceptance, with flexibility for a later trial if initial resistance is encountered.

Comfortable Application: FGB appliances, not affixed to any part of the mouth, ensure a comfortable wearing experience, particularly appealing to children aged 4 and above.

Painless Solution: The non-invasive nature of FGBs translates to a lack of pain, fostering a stress-free environment for both children and families.

Early Intervention Benefits: By starting therapy early with FGB appliances, children can experience positive improvements in jaw and teeth positioning, influencing overall posture and promoting healthy growth.

Encouraging Regular Use: The ease of incorporating FGB devices into a child's routine facilitates regular usage, fostering the desired improvements in jaw and teeth positioning, and overall posture. Early initiation of therapy not only enhances dental outcomes but also contributes to a healthier skeletal, muscular, and dental development.

In conclusion, FGB devices emerge as not only effective tools for dental correction but also as facilitators of compliance due to their comfort, non-intrusiveness, and positive impact on a child's overall growth. Encouraging their regular use can pave the way for a healthier and more aligned oral and physical development.
