To remove a Herbst appliance, first ensure the patient is comfortable and explain the procedure. Use a dental explorer or other appropriate tool to locate and loosen the appliance's bands and components. Carefully detach each part, starting with the screws and then removing the bands from the molars. Once all components are removed, check the area for any debris and ensure the patient is comfortable before concluding the procedure.

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! :)
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.
