If you wear a Forsus Appliance, there are a few guidelines to follow to keep it clean and operational, but it requires no adjustments or changes by the wearer. It works continuously all day long toward achieving the treatment goal.

The length of time that the Forsus Appliance is worn varies, depending on the level of correction needed for each case. But during the time that it is worn, the design features intended to provide both comfort and effective correction should provide among the most efficient means of Class II correction of any treatment option.

3M Unitek presents an optimal solution for Class II Correction:Automatic, hygienic, comfortableThe solution is the Forsus™ Fatigue Resistant Device. This appliance continuously applies light force without any need to make daily changes or adjustments. It is an open-coil spring, so it is easy to brush clean and because it is positioned in the back of the mouth, it is not very visible to others. In addition, patients will be able to open their mouths wider than with other treatment options.

More than providing an attractive smile, orthodontic treatment also corrects the alignment of the upper teeth to the lower teeth for a more integrated bite. This is called Class II Correction.

Historically, Class II Correction often required wearing headgear and facebows for several hours daily despite the potential for embarrassment and

discomfort. Other early products functioned completely inside the mouth but required multiple appointments for installation, or could become ineffective in a short amount of time.

The Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device is 3M Unitek’s innovation for this important treatment need. In line with 3M’s legacy of practical innovations such as Post-it® Notes or Scotch® Adhesive Tape, the Forsus Corrector combines the functional efficiencies required by your Orthodontist with the convenience you desire.

The Forsus Appliance may be placed in a single appointment. Its components are a telescoping spring on a small metal extension to provide light, continuous pressure on the teeth.

• Class II Correction is a common part of orthodontic treatment.

• Treatment options have traditionally involved external apparatus that require daily patient maintenance.

• The Forsus™ Fatigue Resistant Device is installed in one appointment and, because it works continuously, can achieve treatment goals quickly.
