Abstract
Fixed functional appliances (FFAs) have gained the popularity for growth modification in noncompliant patients, especially hybrid types. But for this, clinicians have to depend on certain commercially available appliances; otherwise components required in fabrication of hybrid type appliances are not routinely available in clinics, which discourage their use. Additionally, these preformed appliances have less scope in changing their length as per patient’s requirement of particular mandibular advancement. This article explains the chairside fabrication of hybrid type FFA named ‘Sharma’s bite corrector appliance’ (SBCA). This custom-made and hygienic design provides stable fixation, less breakages with increased range of mandibular movement involving unrestricted mouth opening. SBCA permits quick chairside fabrication with ease in installation of appliance and is inexpensive.
