Herbst Appliance

• DESCRIPTIONS :

• A unique fixed appliance that allows a significantly wider range of mandibular movement than typical HERBST designs.
• Single Patient Appliance Kit.

 

 Comfort. Customization. Advanced engineering.

The innovative Flip-Lock HERBST from TP Orthodontics revolutionizes the traditional HERBST appliance. Its sleek, patented design has no pins, screws or springs, and it introduces a unique flip-lock mechanism for fast activation and improved clinical efficiency.

 

Simple design

At TP Orthodontics, we eliminate pins, screws and springs to create the Flip-Lock HERBST. Simple in design, our Flip-Lock HERBST provides easy activation, extensive range of motion and free lateral mandibular movement for increased patient comfort. Its unique design ensures normal chewing, swallowing, speech and breathing – which, in turn, leads to better treatment compliance.

 

Easy to fit

Easy to fit, the Flip-Lock HERBST activates in seconds because of its patented locking mechanism. Mandibular growth is facilitated by the use of crimpable spacers. Regular office visits are shorter because you no longer need to remove tubes and pistons with each modification.

 

Advantages over other HERBST appliances

• Simple ball-joint design and tube/piston mechanism engineered for greater freedom of movement
• One piece cantilever and ball eliminates the need for welding, saves fabrication time and provides resistance to breakage
• Available with or without cantilever arm
• Low-profile and step-down cantilever shape improves patient comfort
• Anterior ball hinge on cantilever design is available with a horizontal slot which allows for archwire up to 0.56mm x 0.71mm (.022” x .028”), or without a slot for a lower profile height
• Activates in four easy steps without the need for special tools or complicated adjustments

Each Flip-Lock HERBST appliance is fabricated exactly to your specifications. Each appliance is laser-welded to significantly reduce breakage and can be customized for individual cases, shortening treatment time by as much as six months.
