Rotational effects of Class II Division 1 treatment with the Herbst appliance and fixed appliances in growing subjects with different vertical patterns

ConclusionThe results support previous reports that combined Herbst and fixed appliance treatment is likely to be associated with considerable Class II dental correction in many cases. Although there is likely to be a wide range of individual response to the use of the Herbst appliance, it is unlikely that such overall treatment will be associated with clinically significant forward mandibular rotation in dolichofacial subjects.
