چکیده

This article describes the use of a flexible force module (the Jasper Jumper) that can be incorporated into existing fixed appliances to correct various types of sagittal malocclusion. Essentially the spring mechanism described in this article is a modification of the original bite jumping mechanism of Herbst. The flexible spring module provides greater freedom of mandibular movement than is possible with the more rigid mechanism of the Herbst appliance. The facial musculature applies force through these modules to the anchor points to produce a variety of treatment effects. The treatment effects produced by the module mimic those previously described for the Herbst appliance and include posterior movement of the maxillary buccal segments and anterior movement of the mandible or mandibular dentition or both. Specifics of the clinical management of this modular system are discussed, including anchorage preparation and torque application, as well as the methods of anchoring, activating and reactivating the modules.

A new fixed interarch device for Class II correction.

JCO/JANUARY 2003 F devices are increasingly being used for molar distalization in Class II treatment because they eliminate the need for special patient compliance. These appliances fall into two main categories: intra-arch (such as the Distal Jet,* Jones Jig,* and Hilgers Pendulum**) and interarch (such as the Herbst*** and active springs). The spring appliances can be further divided into can...
