Fixed functional appliances in orthodontics are appliances that are attached to the teeth and work continuously to correct skeletal Class II malocclusion, particularly mandibular retrusion. They are mainly used in growing patients to advance the mandible forward, producing both skeletal and dentoalveolar changes. Since they are fixed in the mouth, their effectiveness does not depend on patient compliance. Common examples include the Herbst appliance, Jasper Jumper, Forsus, and MARA. Although they provide continuous force and efficient correction, they may cause discomfort, appliance breakage, and have limited effectiveness in non-growing patients.

Clinical Guide to Principles of Fiber-Reinforced Composites in Dentistry
<p>Traditional dental materials such as metals and ceramics have a number of disadvantages such as cost and the significant damage caused in grinding to make space for such reconstructions. Fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) are a novel group of dental materials characterized by fibrous fillers that are being increasingly used in place of traditional prosthodontic materials. They allow fabrication of minimally invasive, lightweight, durable and biocompatible restorations. This book will provide clinicians and students with theoretical and clinical guidelines to use the FRCs for dental applications.</p> <p>The book begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of FRCs in dentistry. Further chapters cover the treatment possibilities, fabrication and application procedures of FRCs, followed by information on care and maintenance.</p>
