What is the herbst appliance?
At Rosenberg Orthodontics, our skilled dentists have years of experience in performing advanced orthodontics that correct dentofacial structures. Rosenberg Orthodontics is pleased to provide the Invisalign Herbst appliance. The process combines this functional orthodontic appliance with orthodontics to correct severe malocclusion problems. If you have upper molars that protrude too much or a serious overbite, this appliance can be positioned to tackle these issues. As this method reshapes the teeth, conventional braces or dental aligners are generally utilized to direct the teeth at the same time.

I have finished my braces/invisalign treatment a several months ago and have been meaning to write a review for the longest but can't find the right words to describe what and how much this means to me. Since the moment I walked into the office I've had nothing but the best experience ever from the front desk to the doctors. At the initial consultation Dr.Rosenberg told me that I will not have "the perfect" bite due to the severity of my case, but the end results are way better than anything I could ever dream of. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone that is a part of this establishment.
I transferred from a different location. The previous location made so many negative comments and looks towards me. I’m a 20 year old with a new heart problem which didn’t have me focused on my teeth. I came to West Hartford and the environment is the best change. The ladies here were so sweet and understanding of my circumstances. They are there for their job, but make sure they keep their patients comfortable. Loved the front desk women there. The doctors were just as kind.
I’m a patient of Dr. Rosenberg for for 15 years he’s awesome I love everyone that works there. They are very kind. Also it’s nice , whenever you visit always see the same faces for about 12 years I feel like it’s home away from home ,keep going back as l got older for more beautiful smiles Dr Rosenberg and his team they are awesome. Love you guys..
Excellent practice! Very friendly, professional, thorough, and organized!

How does the herbst appliance work?
During your consultation, our dental team will assess your jaw and teeth to determine whether you are an ideal candidate for this orthodontic treatment, before an appointment to apply the device can be scheduled at one of our Hartford County, CT locations. Usually, the Herbst device is placed on the molars. This approach is normally very simple, but a local anesthetic might also be used to make sure you are comfortable throughout the application procedure. When combined with orthodontic treatment, this appliance can move the jaw and the teeth at the same time, working as a crossbite aligner to straighten your bite and teeth. Typically, these orthodontic treatments are worn for 12 – 15 months. However, this timeframe can vary based on your specific goals and case.
Frequently Asked Questions
How painful is the Invisalign Herbst appliance?
When wearing the Invisalign Herbst appliance, you shouldn't experience any pain. It is common to feel soreness in the jaw while your mouth adjusts to having the appliance in place. If you're worried about the pain you'll experience, contact our team so we can go over the process in detail to decide if this procedure is right for you.
Will this Invisalign for malocclusion change my face?
This treatment method slowly repositions the low jaw forward. While the jaw moves, these crossbite aligners allow time for the jaw to grow and find balance with the rest of the face. While your bite will change, your jaw will adapt, leaving your face the same.
How can I properly brush my teeth with Herbst crossbite aligners?
It may be challenging to brush your teeth once the Herbst appliance is placed. Cleaning your appliance with your toothbrush, in conjunction with rinsing your mouth, is ideal. A Waterpik® can also aid in cleaning and removing food particles from around your appliance.
What happens once the herbst appliance is placed?
You might experience some mild soreness or tenderness in your gums following your treatment; however, in time, these symptoms will fade away. If you experience severe pain or tissue inflammation, you can make an appointment so we can correct the device. You should not attempt to correct the device by yourself as it may cause further damage or irritation to your mouth. From time to time, a very simple application or orthodontic wax is all that is necessary to alleviate the problem. You are also advised to eat soft food for the initial 1 – 2 weeks following your therapy. Our experienced team also suggests that you avoid hard candy and gum, in addition to sticky or hard food. The outcomes of the Invisalign Herbst device are long-term since it improves your teeth and general jaw function.
Does insurance cover the herbst appliance?
Insurance coverage will differ according to your policy and insurer; therefore, we'll get in touch with your insurance company to figure out your benefits and compute your remaining expenses. If you do not have insurance, then a member of our financial team can speak with you regarding the payments we take, such as medical financing.
