Emerald Herbst

The Emerald Herbst appliance is a customized oral device featuring both lower and upper trays and interlocking system. The product is non-sterile, biocompatible, and provided in a sealed box with instructions for use. The upper and lower trays are connected by an adjustable hinge allowing the patient to open and close the mouth while wearing the appliance. The Herbst Telescopic Hardware on the side of the device allows the patient to move forward and left and right but not backwards. This freedom of movement is important for comfort and overall success of the device. The Emerald Herbst appliance treats snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea by guiding the mandible forward during sleep, preventing the tongue and soft tissues of the throat from collapsing into the airway.
