I got mine put in i think about two weeks ago. It hurts really bad for about the first five days but affter that it doesn't hurt as bad. I just learned how to actually eat real food a couple of days ago. I think the worst part is the bottom of your tongue because there's a bar that goes across the bottom of your mouth, under your tongue and it rubs against the bottom of it. I hate it. By the way, you can't take really big bites or it will fall apart and you also can't yawn really big. Hope this helped you!!

Usually, for the first week or so, your mouth will feel full, and you might not be able to speak as clearly as you used to. You will get used to this discomfort after a week or so.

You are able to eat Ice cream, like out of a container, but stay away from frozen treats like Popsicles. They can freeze the cement that is holding the Herbst Appliance and it can crack it.

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! :)
Is the forward movement of the lower jaw by use of the Herbst appliance permanent?

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!!!
