Conclusion
A case of moderate skeletal class II on dental
class II division 1 treated with preadjusted
edgewise appliance supplemented with Forsus
Fatigue Resistant Device is reported.
The Forsus FRD can be used instead of class II
elastics in mild cases and instead of Herbst
appliances in severe cases. Forsus functional
appliance work best in patients with convex
profiles, but they are indicated in any class II
patients except those with normal mandibles
and protrusive maxillae, or with protrusive or
overly large mandibles relative to other cranial
structures.
