• A simple one-step installation into the headgear tube
• A telescoping coaxial spring designed to allow for enhanced patient jaw opening
• A comfortable stainless steel mechanism that does not bow out into the cheek
• Low spring stresses to give the Forsus spring a longer, more fatigue-resistant life
• Open spring design to facilitate good oral hygiene
• One appointment installation, chairside, with no lab work required
• Independent left and right components, install only one side if desired

The L-pin Moduleallows for more flexible installation options and movement in the mouth. It can be used with a gingival or occlusal headgear tube. The left and right sides are universal. It is also used with the Forsus Wire Mount, permitting installation without a molar tube.L-pin Spring Module The L-pinmodule allows for more flexible installation options and movement in the mouth.

• The Forsus appliance eliminates time-consuming laboratory setup. It is designed to be an “out of the box” appliance for easy chairside installation in one appointment. It does not require removal of the bracket or archwire for placement

Patient - Compliance:

• Patient compliance is minimized with Forsus correctors. The fixed appliance does not require the patient to remove, install or adjust the device during treatment in order for it to work properly, and therefore the Forsus device is working consistently.

Consistent Forces

• Forsus™ Class II Correctors maintain a consistent level of force throughout treatment (Table 1). Correct activation of the module exerts approximately 200 grams of force. Forsus Correctors consistently apply light force as compared to intermittently applied forces, such as that offered by facebows

Patient-Friendly:

• The compact size of the Forsus corrector helps the patient feel less discomfort. Due to the spring and telescoping cylinder design, it does not bow outward when compressed. This linear motion of the spring minimizes discomfort and assists with durability. Because the Forsus corrector does not require patient compliance, the patient and/or the parent(s) do not have to worry about the amount of time the device is actually worn

Hygiene:

• The open coil spring assembly design aids in hygiene and allows food to be brushed out of the device easily, minimizing food traps

Predictable:

• The long-lasting and consistent forces along with the compliance-free design of the Forsus device allow for more accurate predictions in treatment time and outcome

Versatile:

• The Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device can be used in a variety of Class II cases, including, but not limited to, deep bite, open bite, molar distalization, extraction, mixed dentition, and midline correction. The Forsus device allows for different size requirements for a patient's right and left sides. If desired, it can also be used unilaterally.

• Compatibility: Can be used with gingival or occlusal headgear tubes
• Universal Design: Left and right sides are universal
• Installation: Easy chairside installation in one appointment, no removal of bracket or archwire required
• Force Level: Exerts approximately 200 grams of force consistently throughout treatment

• 1 x Patient kit

• Preparation: Ensure that the patient's orthodontic appliance, including any headgear tubes, is properly prepared and cleaned prior to installation of the L-Pin Module.
• Module Selection: Choose the appropriate L-Pin Module based on the patient's specific orthodontic needs and the configuration of their headgear tube (gingival or occlusal).

Installation: Follow these steps for easy installation of the L-Pin Module:

• Use appropriate tools to securely grip the module during installation.
• Insert the L-Pin Module into the designated headgear tube on either the maxillary or mandibular arch, depending on the treatment plan.
• Ensure that the module is positioned correctly and securely within the headgear tube.
• Adjustment (if necessary): Make any necessary adjustments to the L-Pin Module to ensure optimal alignment and function. This may involve minor modifications to accommodate the patient's unique dental anatomy and treatment goals.
• Patient Education: Provide the patient with clear instructions on how to maintain and care for their orthodontic appliance, including the L-Pin Module. Emphasize the importance of proper oral hygiene practices and compliance with treatment protocols.
• Follow-Up: Schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor the progress of treatment and make any necessary adjustments to the L-Pin Module as needed. This ensures that the corrective forces are being applied effectively and consistently throughout the treatment process.
• Additional Guidance: Consult the comprehensive treatment guide provided by 3M Unitek for detailed instructions and troubleshooting tips specific to the Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device L-Pin Module.

Question) How Does the Forsus™ Fatigue Resistant Device Work?

Answer: The Forsus device is attached to the maxillary molar headgear tube and mandibular archwire, creating a mesial force on the mandibular arch and a distal force on the maxillary arch. The intrusive force on maxillary molars can decrease posterior vertical dimension. The intrusive force can intrude mandibular incisors
