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 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.

Yes, you always talk out of your head. Where do you think your mouth is? It would be strange to talk out of any other part of your body.

Is a Herbst appliance good or bad?

I liked my herbest. It was uncomfortable the first week but after that I liked it! The only downside is it gives you headaches because your jaw is moving.I had a herbst appliance for 2 years. My orthodontist told me my jaw was closing and opening correctly so I opted for this method instead of having jaw surgery. The first week I can remember that my mouth hurt so bad and I had a lisp. I was a singer so I had voice lessons and such that helped me not to have a lisp. So if you're having lisp problems I advise you to just take out some time to teach yourself how to speak properly while it's in your mouth. After 2 weeks I was back to my normal self. I would show people that I had the herbst in my mouth and every one told me they could never even tell that I had that much junk in my mouth. The only problem I had with it was if I yawned too wide, the bars would pop out of their socket thing and puncture the side of my cheek. Not fun! I personally think the herbst didn't really fix my problem because now my jaw clicks and hurts if I chew gum.I have one in my mouth right now because i have an overbite so it is bringing my lower jaw forward. It hasn't even been 2 weeks yet and I'm totally used to it. It does make your cheeks and bottom lip stick out and it makes you talk kinda funny but not anymore and it's only uncomfortable for like 3 or 4 days. Also my bars do not pop out ever when i open REALLY WIDE.The herbst appliance is honestly the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I don't mean to scare anyone that must get it...but if you have any other choice do it. I would rather have my jaw broken then wear this appliance. It's hard to talk and laugh and smile. I've had mine for about a year now and there hasn't been one day that i haven't cried a little because of the uncomfort and pain. Hopefully it'll be worth it, but honestly i pray no one else has to go through what i did.
