Correcting Overbites With Advanced Orthodontic Technology

A significant overbite can affect more than just the appearance of your smile. It can also impact chewing function, jaw comfort, and long-term dental health.

The Forsus™ appliance is an advanced orthodontic tool designed to help correct overbites and improve jaw alignment without the need for more invasive treatment options.

At Unique Orthodontics, we use Forsus therapy as part of comprehensive orthodontic treatment plans for patients throughout California’s Central Valley.

What Is the Forsus Appliance?

The Forsus™ appliance is a fixed orthodontic device that works in combination with braces to help correct Class II overbites.

It uses a spring-based system attached to the upper molars to gently guide jaw positioning over time by:

  • Encouraging forward movement of the lower jaw
  • Helping reduce excessive overbite
  • Supporting improved bite alignment
  • Enhancing overall jaw function

This treatment is commonly used for growing teens, but may also be appropriate in select adult cases.

When Is Forsus Treatment Recommended?

Forsus therapy may be recommended if you or your child experience:

  • A severe overbite
  • Jaw imbalance between upper and lower jaws
  • Difficulty biting or chewing
  • Excessive protrusion of upper teeth
  • Bite-related functional concerns

Your orthodontist will determine if this appliance is the right part of your treatment plan during a full evaluation.
