Chillax hun, the herbst isn't that bad!. My friend had it and I was supposed to get it but I got elastics instead!. This is a picture of the herbst:

Its smaller now though!. Not as bulky!. Ask your ortho if maybe you could get a MARA appliance!. It is supposed to be smaller and more able to get used to!.
