What does a herbst appliance feel like?

Answer:
I got mine put in i think about two weeks ago. It hurts really bad for about the first five days but affter that it doesn't hurt as bad. I just learned how to actually eat real food a couple of days ago. I think the worst part is the bottom of your tongue because there's a bar that goes across the bottom of your mouth, under your tongue and it rubs against the bottom of it. I hate it. By the way, you can't take really big bites or it will fall apart and you also can't yawn really big. Hope this helped you!!

Usually, for the first week or so, your mouth will feel full, and you might not be able to speak as clearly as you used to. You will get used to this discomfort after a week or so.
