Herbst® Appliances The Herbst® appliance is a superior fixed functional appliance which effectively corrects skeletal Class II malocclusions. DynaFlex® has created quality Herbst® appliances for doctors all over the world for forty years and counting. DynaFlex® laboratory offers value pricing, expertise, and a vast knowledge of current Herbst® designs.

Herbst® Designs: The Herbst® designs include stainless steel crowns, Rollo Bands, bands and/or acrylic. The amount of mandibular advancement and bite opening depends on the case and appliance design. All Herbst® designs can be reactivated by using precut “shims” or “spacers” to gain further advancement of the mandible. The EAS® design allows for 5 additional mm of advancement with a built-in screw mechanism.

Hanks™ Telescoping Herbst® The HTH was developed by Dr. Stephen Hanks as a major improvement to the traditional rod and tube design and is the only true “one piece” design available for Herbst® treatment. The telescoping design eliminates problems of disengagement and incorporates a ball and socket pivotal screw that is built into the telescoping mechanism. The ball and socket allows for tremendous lateral excursion and increased patient comfort.

Also, the built in screw makes chair side placement extremely easy.

MiniScope™ & MiniScope with Apple Core™ The MiniScope Herbst is a three section telescoping mechanism that will not become disengaged during patient opening. The Apple Core housing nut has a curved radius to allow for increased lateral excursion, reduction of breakage and optimum patient comfort.

Traditional Herbst®

Flip-Lock® Herbst®

This design highlights the traditional rod and tube mechanism, however any Herbst mechanism can be used with this Dr. Jim Hilgers designed Herbst. The upper first molar crowns and the lower first bicuspid crowns provide sufficient anchorage; however the LHA rest can be bonded for greater anchorage.

The Flip Lock mechanism is comprised of a simple ball joint hinge that allows for maximum lateral excursion and extremely easy chair side assembly. It can be fabricated with the traditional design or the cantilever design for increased patient comfort. Any Herbst design can be fabricate with the Flip-Lock mechanism. All Herbst accessories can be included in a Flip-Lock Herbst.

MARA Appliance MARA (Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appliance) is used to achieve Class II correction treatment goals in the “noncompliant” patient. For the MARA patient to close his / her mouth and occlude their posterior teeth, they must posture the jaw forward into the desired Class I occlusion. With the MARA, the mandible is held forward in Class I occlusion by the labs positioning of the buccal attachments on the molars. The MARA is anchored to the molars in the same manner that a Herbst appliance is i.e. crowns, modified crowns or bands. The lower buccal attachments are fixed to the molars while the upper buccal attachments (called Elbows) are removable. The upper Elbows being removable enable the Orthodontist and/or staff to make adjustments and advancements in the appliance. Each MARA comes with both upper and lower archwire tubes to facilitate the option of fixed mechanics being used in conjunction with MARA treatment. Additionally, advancement shims in various sizes are available by request.

MARA “U” Appliance To enhance the effectiveness of the Mara Appliance in very deep overbite cases the U-Mara is an excellent alternative. In deep overbite cases when the mandible is advanced there is a large posterior open bite making it difficult for the patient to keep the upper elbow and lower loop properly engaged. The “U” modification addresses this problem by reversing the lower loop to provide additional millimeters of vertical engagement between the lower arm and upper elbow.

*Patent Pending

This brilliant new design is super-efficient, super-comfortable and very simple to manage. All of the mechanisms are built for comfort and convenience. The larger anterior mechanism (SmartStop) has a small set screw that locks into place after you have made your necessary adjustments to the appliance (Figure 1). The smaller mechanism (SmartGuide) is threaded on the coil spring for secure positioning and will accept our exclusive Z clip for connection to the lingual sheath. The super elastic nickel titanium spring maintains a consistent 200 grams of force and slides friction free along the wire. Another incredible feature of the SmartJet® is the ability to mesialize a molar by sliding the SmartStop anteriorly and pulling the molar into position as shown in the picture (Figure 2). The SmartJet® is truly the smartest appliance.

Orthopedic Splints DynaFlex® has over 45 years of experience fabricating orthopedic splints. DynaFlex® is experienced at constructing a variety of splints custom made to the specific needs of your patient. The splints pictured below are some of the more commonly requested designs used to treat TMJ dysfunction. Additional splint designs are available upon request.

Maxillary Anterior Deprogrammer

Maxillary Flat Plane

Full coverage splint most often used for clenching and bruxing problems. A flat platform lingual to the upper incisors is designed to provide contact with the lower incisors. The lower posterior teeth are held out of occlusion which differentiates this splint from a maxillary flat plane splint.

Upper splint designed to have all lower teeth to strike evenly. This splint is commonly designed to include cuspid disclusion or anterior guidance. It is most commonly used as a traditional night guard for occlusion related problems.

Dorsal Splint

Farrar Splint

A nighttime splint designed to provide aggressive mandibular repositioning. The Dorsal fin on the mandibular appliance interfaces with the maxillary appliance preventing the lower jaw from retruding during sleep. This appliance is most often fabricated out of a dual laminate material, but can also be fabricated with traditional acrylic.

Farrar Splint, often referred to as a maxillary repositioning splint, utilizes an aggressive incline plane lingual to the incisors to force the mandible into a protrusive position. This splint can be fabricated with or without posterior support depending upon personal preferences. This is a very common nighttime appliance.

How to Send a Case:

Send accurate maxillary and mandibular working models from high quality alginate impressions. To guarantee “best fit” the impressions should be poured immediately. For proper appliance fabrication include a wax bite to the desired vertical opening and mandibular advanced position.

Orthopedic Splints

continued

Gelb

Modified Gelb

A traditional lower diagnostic splint. Most commonly used to establish proper vertical dimension with slight to moderate anterior repositioning. The amount of repositioning dictates how heavily indexed the posterior bite pads become.

Most popular splint similar to Gelb splint with the addition of anterior acrylic for additional support.

Pull Forward Splint

Tanner

Mandibular splint designed to aggressively reposition the lower jaw to a down and forward position. The lingual flange or acrylic helps guide the mandible to a specific position. These flanges also help prevent lateral movements, and are generally reduced over time as the patient becomes comfortable in the new position.

Popular lower splint that includes both posterior support as well as an anterior cap of acrylic. This cap is a common addition on patients who will wear this splint for an extended period of time.

Luco

Stack Bionator

Lower splint fabricated on the buccal as opposed to the lingual. This is a patient friendly splint as it preserves tongue space. Similar to other lower splints, the amount of repositioning is controlled by the design of indexing of the upper posterior teeth into the occlusal pads.

A monoblock style appliance that aggressively holds the lower jaw in a down and forward position. This is most commonly used in adult post mandibular repositioning patients to prevent dual bites from occurring. It is considered a night-time appliance.

Bracket Carving/ Removal: To assure stability for your finished cases, DynaFlex® can accurately remove brackets from working models or digital files. Your retainer can be insert­ ed at the debracketing visit. This eliminates the possibility of “drifting” of the teeth between patient visits. It is important to take the impression or scan with the arch wire removed. For best results, it is important to capture all of the area around the bracket.

Pro-Form Mouthguards Custom made Pro-Form mouthguards from DynaFlexÂŽ give your patients the absolute best in comfort, fit, retention and protection.

Professional and amateur athletes alike use Pro-form mouthguards because they provide the highest level of protection, retention, comfort and fit without hindering speech, breathing and most of all athletic performance. The Pro-form custom-fit mouthguard goes above and beyond typical boil-and-bite mouthguards because of its superior fit and retention. In addition, Pro-form mouthguards are thin and comfortable while still maintaining shape and protection long after other mouthguards have worn out.

Pro-form custom-made athletic mouthguards are proven to reduce the incidence of tooth breakage by properly distributing the stress of a hard impact to the entire length of the tooth. A double layer of laminated sheet vinyl and a lingual plate imbedded behind the incisors gives the piece long-lasting durability. The mouthguard maintains its form because of the heat and pressure laminating process. The tensile strength is excellent due to the two layers of laminate while the density is maintained during the pressure laminated process for controlled, uniformed shape.

All Pro-Form mouthguards are custom made by skilled technicians with many years of experience and the fit is always guaranteed. They are available in a variety of colors and can be made with or without a helmet strap.

Basic Mouthguard

Used at all levels of competition, Pro-Form has proven itself as a top performer on the field when athletes need it most!

Mouthguard with Strap

Basic 1 Color Black Blue Clear Green Orange Red Purple Yellow

Mouthguard Straps Easy-to-attach helmet straps to be used with Pro-form mouthguards. The strap works great for any sport that has a helmet, such as football, hockey and lacrosse. The strap is especially helpful due to its safety release feature which allows the mouthguard to break away under less than 12 pounds of pressure.
