Recent advances in molar distalization

Description

For molar distlization, various procedures with different biomechanics and many appliances have been routinely used. Old methods include extraoral traction, removable appliances with springs as well as Class I intermaxillary elastic. Since the major problem is patients” compliance which is a presupposition for the effectiveness of these modalities. Thus the development and use of new techniques and appliances can minimize the need for patient cooperation and provides a reliable and more predictable treatment alternative.
