The Nylon Sleep Herbst® appliance can be made very thin (less than 1mm thick), retains durability and retentiveness while also maintaining appropriate flexibility at this thickness. The appliance is easier to insert and much more comfortable for patients, especially at the first insertion. The low-profile design precisely engages the undercuts to enhance retention and fit.
This appliance allows patients some lateral and vertical movement without disengaging the appliance. Also, if the initial position does not provide anticipated relief, the mandible can easily be moved forward in small increments by using advancement shims, or with our telescopic hardware advanced up to 4mm with a 1mm retrusion.
All Telescopic Herbst Sleep Appliances are PDAC (Pricing, Data Analysis and Coding Contractor) verified for Medicare reimbursement. The Code is EO486. FDA Reference #K955822.
