The Forsus is used primarily to correct overjets (commonly referred to as overbites where the upper front teeth are positioned too far ahead of the lower front teeth). Historically, this kind of correction often required wearing headgear for several hours daily despite the potential for embarrassment and discomfort. Now the Forsus appliance may be placed in a single appointment. The length of time that the Forsus appliance is worn varies depending on the level of correction needed for each patient. It has been designed to provide optimal patient comfort while effectively aiding the correction of overjets.

The Forsus is a three-piece telescoping spring solution that is attached to regular braces. The design incorporates an external spring assembly that won't compromise comfort and provides a means for predictable, successful bites and smiles. The time to install the Forsus and achieve the desired result can now be accomplished in much less time and with greater comfort than with other appliances.
