A unique fixed appliance that allows a significantly wider range of mandibular movement than typical HERBST designs.
The innovative Flip-Lock HERBST from TP Orthodontics revolutionizes the traditional HERBST appliance. Its sleek, patented design has no pins, screws or springs, and it introduces a unique flip-lock mechanism for fast activation and improved clinical efficiency.
At TP Orthodontics, we eliminate pins, screws and springs to create the Flip-Lock HERBST. Simple in design, our Flip-Lock HERBST provides easy activation, extensive range of motion and free lateral mandibular movement for increased patient comfort. Its unique design ensures normal chewing, swallowing, speech and breathing – which, in turn, leads to better treatment compliance.
Easy to fit, the Flip-Lock HERBST activates in seconds because of its patented locking mechanism. Mandibular growth is facilitated by the use of crimpable spacers. Regular office visits are shorter because you no longer need to remove tubes and pistons with each modification.
Each Flip-Lock HERBST appliance is fabricated exactly to your specifications. Each appliance is laser-welded to significantly reduce breakage and can be customized for individual cases, shortening treatment time by as much as six months.
The Flip-Lock HERBST is an excellent appliance. I frequently use it for my Phase I Class II mandibular retrognathic cases. TP Orthodontics Laboratory Services consistently delivers quality appliances with prompt and reliable service and delivery.
