Class II Functional Case: Herbst Appliance
We wanted to highlight this class II malocclusion case as the Herbst appliance is not a commonly used functional appliance in the UK. Follow our patient's journey and check the results that we managed to achieve with a complex treatment plan.
In Depth: What is a Herbst Appliance?
One of the most common problems presented to an orthodontist is the upper teeth being further forward relative to the lower teeth. In most cases, this is the result of the lower jaw being set back relative to the upper jaw, as opposed to the upper jaw being too far out. What can we do to help this?
In Depth: What is Orthognathic Surgery and Would You Benefit From it?

In Depth: Effects of CO-CR Discrepancy in Daily Orthodontic Treatment in Planning
