Herbst appliance alternative? 15yo

[luckycel]

So im 15 and i have a fine gonial angle and a fine maxilla, my only real issue is that I have an overbite and a short mandible(short ramus). Ideally id like to get a herbst appliance, but I live in slovakia and i have no idea how to get it and its probably out of my budget(~500€). What are some good alternatives? I need to pull my jaw forward and down to correct my overbite but also maybe lengthen my mandible. Is it possible to build a similar appliance at home?

Honestly if your budget is the issue then just go for a mouth guard, it'll take time to see major results but they help. I recommend any sort of variation of a reviv mouth guard (R1 or R2 doesn't matter), otherwise any other mouth guard works fine.

I looked it up but im kinda skeptical. Website seems pretty shady ngl. Has anyone actually had any decent results from it?

I've seen good befores n' afters but I haven't tried that specific mouth guard myself, but any other mouth guard works well like I said. Whatever you're comfortable with bhai

Can it actually make my mandible appear longer tho? Like idk Im scared my gonial angle might get more obtuse

It'll make your curve of spee (look it up) better which by extension will give you a lower gonial angle over time, and again, you don't have to get reviv just any mouth guard of solid quality.
