At most, it takes about 30 min-1 hour...when I got mine on, it took about 30 minutes and then they showed how to tighten the expander.

How long do you have to wait until you get your herbst appliance?
Well, you have to go in and get mold taken of your mouth then those molds are sent to somewhere to get to herbst made and by the time it gets made and shipped back to the ortho it's been about 3 weeks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upon visiting an orthodontist for an evaluation, she recomends you get a Herbst appliance. How long should you wait? How long will it take after my next appointment to get my Herbst? Usually, it depens on the severity of your overbit or deep bite. Your orthodontist might suggest you come in for your next appointment ASAP to get your appliance. Sometimes she will say otherwise, or let you decide for yourself. When you go back for your next appointment, you will get molds taken, and sent in to a lab that makes Herbsts and will make one to fit you. Normally, it will take 4-6 weeks for it to come in. Some companies are faster than others, so it may take only 2-3 weeks. You can talk to your orthodontist and ask her any questions or worries you may have.
What has your experience been with an 11 year old getting an herbst appliance?

I'm getting a Herbst appliance tomorrow What should you expect getting it on etc?
The herbst appliance is used to make your jaw move forward.you will realize that you have much more saliva in your mouth, adn you talk funny. Also, it will be hard to eat. I recommend eating ice cream, pudding, milkshates, applesauce, mac and cheese, jello. More of the soft squishy foods.Your orthondantist should give you special floss and a toothbrush. you put the floss in between the herbst appliance and your teeth, and the tooth burush is designed to go around the herbst appliance.The herbst appliance does not hurt at all. You may experience some pain from the metal pieces sticking into your cheaks, but the orthondianst will give you some wax for that. You put the wax around the area of the appliance that hurst you. If something else bothers you, take ibrophen. When you get the herbst, you CAN NOT,i repeat CAN NOT eat sticky foods or hard foods. Sticky foods can dammage the herbst and it can take up to 2 years insted of 9 months for your herst to be in you mouth. hard foods and sticks foods can pull the sement out of your teath, which means, you herbst will move around, and it will be very annoyine. Somw people think that theres nothing wrong with eating foods like apples, carrots, gum, and stuff like that. But you know, your parent and/or gaurdian has to pay about 200-400$ more for a new apliance (estamated) if your herbst breaks from eating wrong foods.Your orthondianst should go over all the things you should not do. the herbst appliance is very useful. And you know what. Your just one step away from getting braces!!!
Can a Herbst appliance be used when braces are on?
The herbst appliance is used to move your bottom jaw forward and your top jaw back. I just got mine a few days ago and it HURTS! Like its the most painful thing and you can have a herbst appliance on while having braces on too! I got braces on and my herbst on at about the same time. With a herbst, you have these like two pieces of metal that go around the tops of your teeth and they stick into your gums and hurt. They hurt because the dentist has to stick the metal part into your gum and cement the metal onto your teeth. Then you have a metal bar that goes across your cheek and connects to the lower part of your teeth with the metal part around it. And that is pretty much what the herbst appliance is and what it does to your mouth. Hope this helps! :)
