Our Herbst Appliance with integrated RPE (Rapid Palatal Expander) is designed on precision-fit cast metal crowns for a secure and durable fit. This dual-action appliance offers an advanced combination of jaw guidance and arch expansion – without being classified as a medical device.

Wearing Experience:
The Herbst with RPE offers a secure fit that stays in place once inserted. The Herbst tubes may initially feel firm and restrict side-to-side movement, but most users adapt quickly. Speaking will be affected at first, particularly for “r” and “sh” sounds, but improves with consistent wear.

Key Features

  • Herbst Mechanism:
    The appliance features bilateral telescopic arms (Herbst hinges) that connect the upper and lower jaw components. These stainless steel attachments allow controlled forward positioning of the lower jaw and a natural, guided bite closure.
  • Integrated RPE Screw:
    Centrally located on the upper arch is a precision expansion screw (Rapid Palatal Expander), allowing lateral adjustment of the upper jaw.
  • Cast Metal Crowns:
    The appliance is anchored to the teeth using custom-fitted, lab-cast metal crowns for exceptional retention and stability. These are fabricated to match your dental impressions exactly, ensuring comfort and precision.

Handcrafted in Our Dental Lab

Each device is individually crafted by skilled dental technicians using your dental impressions. Combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, we ensure a perfect fit and exceptional quality – just like your orthodontist would provide.

  1. elliptic (verified owner) –

    Erwartungen vollständig erfüllt

    Ich hatte die Apparatur schon vor gut einem Jahr bestellt (in USA).
    Mir wurde empfohlen einen der beiden Abdrücke zu wiederholen, da er leicht verutscht war.
    Danke für die Sorgfalt!
    Die gelieferte Apperatur passt perfekt und entspricht voll meinen Erwartungen.
    Ich aktiviere die obere Dehnschraube leicht um einen guten Halt zu erzielen.
    Ich sehe jetzt, dass es nun auch die Option für einen Expander im Unterkiefer gibt.
    Würde ich empfehlen, da die Apparatur dann auch unten festsitzt.

Frequently Asked Questions

All of our products are custom-made based on your dental impressions to ensure a perfect fit. Without impressions, your appliance wouldn’t fit.

If you don’t already have recent dental impressions (either from your dentist or a past order with us), you’ll need to order our Impression Kit. It’s easy to use at home and includes everything you need.

We carefully review every impression before production. If your impressions are not usable, we’ll contact you directly. You can then retake your impressions. If you’ve run out of impression material, we offer a discounted replacement kit.

Production takes 10-20 business days after we receive your impressions. Shipping time depends on your region and the shipping method you select at checkout.

After you’ve taken your impressions, please email us a few clear photos of them. Our team will review the photos to make sure the impressions are suitable. Once approved, we’ll send you the appropriate return instructions and the address of our nearest return location (in the USA, UK, or EU).

If you live in the USA or the EU, there are no import duties, as your order is shipped from within your region. Customers in other countries may be subject to local customs fees.

If you’re looking for a dental device for medical/treatment purposes, you must consult with a licensed orthodontist. As a dental laboratory, we cannot offer diagnosis or treatment recommendations.
