The best person to address your concerns is your orthodontist. They know your occlusion and treatment objectives better than anyone over the internet who has never seen or examined you.

Herbst appliance is designed to enhance horizontal lower jaw growth, but not much growth left to enhance in a 21y female. It will move teeth to enhance occlusion. Discussny9our concerns with your Orthodontist, and make sure his/her treatment goals support your goals.
