Dental Development, Removable Appliances

Miniscope Herbst

The Mini Scope Herbst appliance provides an exceptional function in class II orthodontic correction. This appliance repositions the mandible forward to allow for the adaptation of the muscular, skeletal and dental components utilizing a telescopic element on the buccal. The telescoping mechanism will not disengage like a traditional Herbst® appliance, substantially reducing the number of emergency appointments. The mini-scope arms are secured using the provided Apple core screws which provide exceptional mobility and free lateral movement reducing appliance breakage. We recommend the Herbst for those difficult patients who have compliance issues with removable appliances.

Treatment & Care

Herbst Treatment will last 6-12 months. Activate expander 1-3x per day if present. Four Apple Core screws will be provided with an accompanying hex key. Make sure to dry fit appliance before cementation. You can assemble the components before insertion to prevent loss of a screw. If you screw are back turning ODL recommends purchasing CekaBond which can be applied to the threads and then assembled.  Muscle Tenderness – When the patient first gets his or her Herbst appliance, there may be some overall muscle tenderness and soreness of the teeth. As the patients’ mouth adapts to the appliance, the soreness should fade.  Tissue Irritation – Because the Herbst appliance is metal, it may cause some slight tissue irritation, especially on the lower gums. It will take time for the patients’ mouth to adapt.  Until it does, dental wax can help to ease the irritation.  Diet – Eating softer food will help with any muscle soreness, especially after the first week or two after getting the appliance. It is also important to eliminate sticky foods, like candy and gum, or hard, crunchy food, which can damage the appliance and lengthen treatment time.

More About Miniscope Herbst

Also Known As:
Miniscope appliance, Telescopic Herbst
Who Made Me:

The Herbst appliance, originally invented by Dr. Emil Herbst in 1909, was later modified with telescopic mechanisms to allow more freedom of movement while still promoting mandibular advancement. The Miniscope variation, introduced in the 1980s, provides a smaller, more flexible version of the traditional Herbst, making it more comfortable for patients while maintaining effectiveness in treating Class II malocclusions.

Here are some other notable developments in the history of the Herbst appliance:

  • Reintroduction: Dr. Hans Pancherz reintroduced the Herbst appliance in Malmo, Sweden.
  • Fliplock mechanism: Dr. Miller introduced the Fliplock mechanism in 1996.
  • HTH telescoping mechanism: Dr. Steve Hanks introduced the HTH telescoping mechanism in 2003.
  • Molar to molar Herbst mechanism: Dr. Dischinger introduced the molar to molar Herbst mechanism in 2009.
