What if your child needs a Herbst appliance? Manilla and his staff are very amazing! They treated us like family. The office is very welcoming. Manilla and his staff did a excellent job on my daughter's teeth.
She can't stop smiling! He is currently working on mine and I can't wait to see how beautiful mine will be. My other two children will as come to this office when they are ready for braces. I highly recommend Dr. Manilla's office. They are the best! Manilla and his staff. I found their quote to be lower than a few others around our area.
Over the last two years, they have been so flexible and kind as we have tried to schedule appts around school and sports. I have two more kids who might be potential candidates for orthodontics and we would definitely choose Dr. Manilla's office for their needs! For patients with severe overbites, the appliance may need to be worn longer. Made from surgical-grade stainless steel, this functional appliance is made up of two frameworks that attach to the back molars, and two telescoping rods that connect the upper and lower frameworks.
By pulling the upper jaw backward and pushing the lower jaw forward, this creates a more defined jawline and stronger chin, both considered highly attractive in both boys and girls.
Though wearing a Herbst appliance does not cause pain, it can initially lead to some soreness in the jaw as the upper and lower jaws get used to wearing the functional appliance. If your child is experiencing any discomfort, taking OTC pain relievers should be all they need to feel better.
The appliance may rub against the insides of the cheeks, causing some irritation when the appliance is first installed. A Herbst appliance is a much more discreet option: it may be visible when your child laughs or speaks, but it is far less obtrusive than headgear.
Muscle Tenderness — When your child first gets his or her Herbst appliance, there may be some overall muscle tenderness and soreness of the teeth. As your child's 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 your child's 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. Long and his staff have made me and my kids feel like family.
Also, the rods and tubes in your appliance may come apart if you open your mouth too wide. If this happens, they can be reconnected. Your doctor will show you how to do it.
If the appliance makes your mouth tender, your doctor may suggest medicine to relieve the soreness. The appliance may rub against your cheeks or tongue. If this happens, roll a small piece of dental wax into a ball. Then press it against your appliance at the sore spots. If you get a small cut in your mouth, rinse it with a mixture of 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 cup of warm water.
