  HeadGear with Orthodontic Braces
Headgear is typically used in growing patients to correct overbites by holding back the growth of the upper jaw, allowing the lower jaw to catch up.
Headgear needs to be worn approximately 10-14 hrs to be effective in correcting the overbite, usually anywhere from 6 -18 months depending on the severity of the overbite and how much a patient is growing.
Headgear is also used in adults, but for a different reason.

 Choosing a Mask and Headgear - American Sleep Apnea Association - ASAA
Headgear straps must be snug enough for a good fit in all sleeping positions (back, side, and front) but not tight.
Headgear comes in a variety of colors, sizes, and materials, but some masks can be used only with specific headgear (many masks are sold prepackaged with headgear).
This mask also includes a thin plastic piece that glides from side to side across the mask as the person moves in sleep: this is to allow the headgear, but not the mask, to move with the user and alleviates mask leaks.
