Specialty Banded Herbst®
The banded Herbst appliance was first utilized by Dr. Hans Pancherz. Initially his design used bands on the first molars and first bicuspids. Over the years, this appliance has been modified to include the first molars only for anchorage. The appliance has a .045 lingual arch with .059 buccal support wires to withstand the advancing forces. The appliance standard comes with a .040 upper transpalatal arch as well. Arch wire tubes can be added to the upper and lower arches if fixed appliances will be used during treatment.

Rogers Banded Herbst®
Dr. Mike Rogers has been instrumental in promoting the Banded Herbst®. He modified the standard Banded Herbst® by eliminating the transpalatal arch for added comfort. For stability, double buccal archwire tubes are incorporated on the upper and a larger .051" lingual arch is used on the lower. Second molar rests are added if the molars are erupting.
