The Forsus appliance works by by posturing the patients lower jaw in a forward position, and over time promotes growth in pubertal adolescents, helping to eliminate excessive overbites, improve the fit of teeth and possibly prevent the need for jaw surgery. The major advantage of this system over headgear or elastics is that its effectiveness does not rely on patient cooperation. The length of time that the Forsus Appliance is worn varies, depending on the level of correction needed for each case.
