Does it hurt when you get your herbst appliance off?

Herbst appliances are orthodontic devices that are used to correct underbites. They are typically worn for several months, and can cause some discomfort during the first few days of wear. However, most people find that the discomfort goes away after a few weeks.

When the herbst appliance is removed, it does not typically hurt. The orthodontist will use a special tool to gently remove the appliance, and there should be no pain or discomfort.
