Distalization with the miniscrew-supported EZ Slider auxiliary.

I molar-distalization appliances that require little or no patient compliance—including the Pendulum, Distal Jet, and sliding jigs1-3— have been developed as alternatives to headgear. To avoid the anchorage loss that often occurs with these devices, skeletal anchorage has increasingly been employed,4-6 leading to the introduction of new systems. This article introduces the EZ Slider* sliding auxiliary for use with mini-implants in the distalization of posterior segments.
