Simple Design

At TP Orthodontics, we eliminate pins, screws and springs to create the Flip-Lock HERBST. Simple in design, our Flip-Lock HERBST provides easy activation, extensive range of motion and free lateral mandibular movement for increased patient comfort. Its unique design ensures normal chewing, swallowing, speech and breathing – which, in turn, leads to better treatment compliance.

Easy to Fit

Easy to fit, the Flip-Lock HERBST activates in seconds because of its patented locking mechanism. Mandibular growth is facilitated by the use of crimpable spacers. Regular office visits are shorter because you no longer need to remove tubes and pistons with each modification.
