Reliable molar distalizer: A review

Current orthodontic philosophies have been oriented toward various conservative treatment methods to eliminate extractions and also try to avoid the demand for patient compliance. The distalization of molars creates additional space within the alveolar arch, and it is of important value for the cases with minimal arch length discrepancy and Angle’s Class-II molar relationship associated with normal mandible. Several appliances have been advocated to distalize molars in the upper arch. But, recent advances in molar distalization appliance design provide more precise control in bodily movement of teeth enabling better treatment options in orthodontics.
