There is no pain/discomfort when the Herbst is placed. And most of our patients have no soreness, etc after it is placed. There is a bit of an adjustment when you eat, but that's about it. Good luck.
I wouldn't say one is better than the other. It depends on your particular problem and how cooperative you are and what your orthodontists recommended since he/she has actually seen you. Both of these appliances help treat and correct Class II bites. Good luck and good question. Dr. Altherr
@altherrortho hahah thts bs man it hurt when i got the bite stick!!!! and when he put it in. it was almost unbearable for the nxt 3 days after i got it in. now its been almost 2 months i've had it in and the only pain i have is the irritation of the inside of my cheek.
when they where cleaning that one tooth almost to the end of the video was that a baby tooth? because my orthondonitst said i had 3 pre molders and that it wasnt gonna be a prblem for the herbst and braces one more thing with the herbst appliance do ou get your braces tighting? how did you get straight teeth please reply thanks
@jefferpocketrock Great Questions! Why dont you give your orthodontist a call and ask them all your questions? Every patient is different and because we can not see your mouth we're not quite sure what's going on with your teeth!
Thanks this really helped me. Does it hurt if you have sensitive teeth?

@Juliejet821 Not exactly, but they are close. They both are often used to correct a Class II bite.
