Herbst®* Bite-Jumping Appliance

With orthodontics moving into the era of hyperefficiency, the concept of consistent, predictable results using noncompliance appliances has been the driving force in the rising popularity of the Herbst* appliance. Advances in design and clinical techniques have placed the Herbst in the forefront as the functional appliance of choice in the correction of skeletal and dental Class II malocclusions. While the Herbst lends itself to removable designs, it is the fixed Herbst that is commonly prescribed because it is a noncompliance appliance and is adaptable to patients of all ages, accommodating a vast diversity of treatment protocols.
