3M Forsus Reactivation Spacer for Orthodontic Push Rods
A reactivation spacer used on Forsus push rods lacking an integral stop, allowing renewed spring compression after tooth movement during orthodontic treatment.
The Forsus Reactivation Spacer is an orthodontic accessory used with Forsus push rods that do not have an integral stop built into their design. As treatment progresses and teeth move, the compression on the Forsus spring can reduce, and this spacer allows the clinician to renew that compression on push rods lacking a built in stop, helping the appliance continue applying the intended corrective force between adjustment appointments.
This is a small component used by orthodontists and their assistants chairside during a Forsus adjustment visit, fitted onto the push rod as needed rather than being a stand alone appliance itself. Maintaining consistent spring compression throughout treatment supports the intended progression of the correction the Forsus appliance is designed to achieve, so having reactivation spacers available for compatible push rods is a routine part of managing patients wearing this system.
Orthodontic practices using the Forsus appliance as part of their fixed functional treatment protocols keep spacers like this in stock to support ongoing reactivation visits across their patient base.
