Last week, I got a herbst appliance to help bring my lower jaw forward. It's really uncomfortable and shows on the outside of my lower lips when I close my mouth. It helps me jaw look more distinct, but my orthodontist said I would need it to be activated. He also mentioned the possibility of me getting a chin implant and gave me the names of some surgeons. He recommended it but also said it's my choice. I wonder if this would happen during my treatment and if I should get a consult.

Yes,

I'm very interested. My Neckstrap is little short.

Hallo kurze Frage könnte der Shop eventuell diese extra langen hg Nackenbänder von dieser Seite https://www.orthocare.co.uk/acatalog/Extra-Long-Multi-Coloured-Neckstraps-830_154.html#SID=322
bestellen und weiter verkaufen da man als Privatperson nichts dort bestellen kann. Vielleicht hätten ja noch andere Interesse daran. Danke!!!

Wow, that sounds intense

He said I would need the expander for 9 months. He said I would need the crib for longer and maybe for the remainder of my treatment. But it's attached to the expander, so he said I would either get a new fixed crib after the expander is out or hopefully a removable one.

How long do they say you'll need to have the appliances?

I recently started orthodontic treatment for crowding and a large overjet and overbite. It's gotten worse over time. My orthodontist said I have a tongue thrusting habit that must be corrected and started my treatment by putting on partial braces and an upper expander with tongue crib. I got them last week and they are very uncomfortable. My speech is bad with a lisp and it's hard to eat, swallow, and speak. My orthodontist said I would adjust and recommended speech therapy. I had my first appointment on Friday and my speech therapist gave me exercises for improving my speech and retraining my tongue so it doesn't thrust against my teeth. I want the appliance out, but my speech therapist and orthodontist but think it is really important. The expander is also painful and I have to turn it with a key.

Thank you for asking. She's doing fairly well with them. She was required to wear them 22/7 for about six weeks, then the ortho moved her to nighttime-only wear. She does forget occasionally, so I remind her and sometimes even have to wake her and put them in for her, haha.

She prefers the Essix for comfort, but wears the Hawleys a lot just because I prefer them. The Hawleys still induce a lisp, which I find charming.

I really need to have her make a video comparing the two retainer types.

How are the retainers treating her?

Why you have second braces?

I think it's too late because they would have had to mold the wire clasp that the headgear tube is attached to into the acrylic. Maybe post on the "buying from braces shop" thread and see what the shop technician says

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to modify a device to add headgear tubes. Here's a photo:

What treatment did you have the first and second time? Any appliances?

A tounge crib would be awesome!

Bite blocks are a real pain!

I had them twice. You will be fine. Enjoy the journey!

I had several configutations. I wish I could have midline elastics. They look so neat across the front of the teeth.

Braces really helped my tmj. I hope you find some releif.
