Braces+Herbst Appliance will ruin my lower jaw!?!
Question:
Braces+Herbst Appliance will ruin my lower jaw!?
Okay, the problem is I'll be getting braces WITH a Herbst Appliance soon! The Herbst appliance will push my lower jaw forward because I have overbite... but I REALLY don't want that to happen because then my lower jaw will be big like a mans'! Can this happen? omg

Answers:
Absolutely not. You're going to be fine. All the braces and Herbst will do is put your teeth in correct allignment for your jaw and face. It will not cause your jaw to get any bigger (it can't). You will be very happy with the result!
