Here,one of Dr Scotts assistants showed me howto make ary own Herbst Project Introduction What is a Herbst? The Herbst appliance s aa orthodontic device that i used in cases of ovecbites that forces the jaw to grow foewaed without causing the teeth to flee, making te over bite dsippete ‘This semester I will be studying the Herbst appliance, the effects on the teeth, mouth and jave For my product, I will make a mode! representation to show the growth of the jaw and movement within the mouth going along with my model, Twill be going through several different cases with Dr. Scott and analyzing what variables lead to the best results of the appliance.

How the Herbst Appliance is Applied Iwill be able to have the chance to observe Di, Scott put in the appliance, but for now this is my knowledge due to cevearch on how it is pertosmed. The Orthodontist begins by placing four molar bands around the first molars, that are connect to one another by a metal wire, The wire on top of the mouth is laid straight across, while the bottom wire follows around the bottom row of teeth. ‘The bottom molar bands have an extension on them that will be used to attach the upper and lower, the extension may vary in size depending on the circumstances of your mouth, Next, the upper and lower molars are connect by placing a metal sleeves and rods that will force your lower jaw forward, without causing flaring to the teeth. Herbst Designs Result Variables. Dr. Scott and I have taken from 50 different patients who have completed their treatment and looked at the degree of the central lower incisors in the initial phase of treatment and the second phase.
