Specialty Miniscope® Herbst

The MiniScope Herbst is a telescoping Herbst that works with traditional screws and pivots and allows up to 40 degrees of lateral movement. Made to your Rx and shipped in 10 business days or faster.

Class II Correction

Specialty Miniscope® Herbst

The lower pivot sits further distal, beside the second bicuspid, which reduces irritation at the corners of the mouth. The upper eyelet is offset to the lingual, so the patient feels less of it against the cheek. You can activate it in the mouth, and the telescope won't come apart.

When it’s the right call.

Use it when
Class II correction where you can't count on compliance
Patients prone to irritation at the corners of the mouth
Cases where a separated rod would mean an emergency visit
Standard advancement without extra opening or lateral range
Consider another appliance when
The case needs more opening and lateral range than three parts allow See Specialty M4® Herbst
You prefer a mechanism without rods, tubes or telescopes See MARA
The patient needs transverse expansion alongside Class II correction See Xbow Class II Corrector

Options you can prescribe.

Anchorage

Choose bands, ROC crowns, crowns or OnBRACE®. Note OnBRACE® on the Rx.

Upper expansion

Add a 12 mm RPE screw, a mini-expander or a click screw.

Lower lingual arch

Included without loops. Add loops if you want them.

Add-ons

Add a TPA, quad helix, occlusal rests, archwire tubes or lingual seating lugs.

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.
