Intraoral Maxillary Molar Distalization

A new approach in maxillary molar distalization: intraoral bodily molar distalizer.

The objectives of our study were to achieve bodily molar distalization, avoid distal tipping of molars, eliminate the need for patient cooperation (no headgear, no elastics, and no esthetic and social concern), and finally to minimize the treatment period and maximize the treatment efficiency. The study was carried out on 5 males and 10 females, a total of 15 patients. Mean age for the study gr...

Intra-arch maxillary molar distalization appliances for Class II correction.

C II malocclusion, which affects approximately one-third of patients seeking orthodontic treatment, often reflects both dental and skeletal deviations from the norm.1-3 Because it frequently involves excessive overjet,4 it is easily recognized by lay persons, leading to its overrepresentation in orthodontic practices. According to the National Health and Nutrition Estimates Survey III, in which...

Three-dimensional bimetric maxillary distalization arches compared with a modified Begg intraoral distalization system.

The purpose of this study was to compare the dentofacial effects of two intraoral molar distalization techniques [three-dimensional bimetric maxillary distalization arches (3D-BMDA) and a modified Begg intraoral distalization system (MBIDS)] in subjects requiring maxillary molar distalization. Twenty-one patients (12 females and 9 males, mean age pre-treatment: 14.7 +/- 1.50 years) were treated...
