The challenge in Class II malocclusion is to achieve a maximum skeletal correction by utilizing residual growth which is possible by growth modification procedures. These procedures utilize a functional appliance which can be either removable or fixed, rigid or hybrid. Among hybrid fixed functional appliances Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device (FFRD) has been used popularly in non-compliant adolescent patients to correct the sagittal discrepancy. Many Clinical and Finite Element studies have been performed to assess the effects of dentally and skeletally anchored Forsus FRD on the craniofacial complex.
