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! :)

Should I get a Herbst appliance or braces with bands or teeth pulled because my orthodontist gave me a choice?
I have the same question and would love to hear the answer. My orthodontist says the herbst is the most effective. Answer I don't know about this appliance, but both my children had one that changed the shape of their jaws and their teeth grew in very nicely. One required a quarter turn of a screw each week for a year and the other had springs. No braces for either of them and their teeth came out nice.

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!!!

How does the herbst appliance affect small children?
The Herbst appliance is commonly used in children to correct misaligned jaws and bite issues. It works by gradually advancing the lower jaw forward to improve the relationship with the upper jaw. While wearing the appliance, children may initially experience some discomfort and speech changes, but these typically improve over time as they adjust to the appliance. Regular monitoring by the orthodontist is essential to ensure proper progress and comfort.
Is the forward movement of the lower jaw by use of the Herbst appliance permanent?
Yes it is.
Does the herbst appliance affect beatboxing?
Yes, the Herbst appliance can affect beatboxing, as it is a dental device used to correct bite and jaw alignment. Its presence can alter the positioning of the tongue and lips, which are crucial for producing various sounds in beatboxing. Users may need time to adjust their technique while wearing the appliance, but with practice, many can adapt and continue to beatbox effectively.
