Abstract

Introduction Among fixed orthodontic appliances, Forsus fatigue-resistant device (FRD) is a popular choice for treating Class II malocclusion in permanent dentition due to its patient-friendly design. FRD utilizes nickel titanium coil springs to deliver precise and adjustable forces for clinical applications. Material and method A 16 gauge stainless steel wire is used for the fabrication of push rods. Results The fabricated push rods work with efficacy in advancing the mandible in forward position. Conclusion In cases of push rod size mismatch our innovative design overcomes these limitations, ensuring optimal fit and performance.
