Our Modified Twin-Block appliance integrates the trusted functionality of the traditional Twin-Block with the added benefits of a Herbst mechanism and built-in lip bumpers. This advanced, removable device is custom-crafted from your at-home impression to ensure a precise, comfortable, and secure fit.
Wearing Experience:
Expect a secure, slightly bulky fit that promotes consistent jaw positioning. While the Herbst hinges may initially feel restrictive during wide jaw movements, most users adjust within a few days. Speaking might be affected at first, especially when pronouncing “s” or “sh” sounds, but this typically improves with regular wear. The Lip Bumpers add extra support without causing irritation, and the overall appliance is easy to insert and remove.
Key Features
- Herbst Mechanism:
Stainless steel telescopic hinges (Herbst screws) connect the upper and lower components, allowing limited jaw movement while keeping both blocks aligned. These hinges offer a firm, spring-loaded sensation when opening and closing the mouth. - Lip Bumpers:
The front-facing wire bumpers gently rest against the inner lips, preventing excessive pressure on the front teeth and offering a cushioned barrier for soft tissue contact. - Custom Acrylic Base:
100% BPA-free, biocompatible acrylic, available in a range of vibrant colors.
