Hanks Telescoping Herbst

The Hanks Herbst is the HTH telescoping Herbst with the screws built into the mechanism, for doctors who trained on it and still prescribe it.

Class II Correction

Hanks Telescoping Herbst

The screws are built into the HTH telescope, which makes it a larger mechanism. If you want a lower profile, prescribe the M4, which runs on AppleCore screws and pivots. You can anchor the HTH on bands, ROC crowns, conventional crowns or OnBRACE®.

Still deciding which Class II corrector?

Fixed or removable, telescoping or not, and how much you want to depend on the patient. Those three choices narrow most Class II cases to one appliance.
