This 10 1/2 year old grew out of his “overbite” in a way genetics never could have managed thanks to the herbst appliance. The change occurs during a major growth spurt and the patient usually has braces on the front teeth while using this appliance. After twelve months, the appliance is removed and braces therapy continues for another year to perfect the smile and bite.
