MOLAR DISTALIZATION
Supervisor Prof.Dr Maher Fouda
By: Bara’ Hanandah
Introduction
Treatment of Class II malocclusions frequently
requires distalization of maxillary molars into a Class
I relationship. A variety of treatment modalities
have been suggested, including those that are
heavily dependent on patient compliance such as
extraoral traction, removable appliances with finger
springs,Wilson arches, and sliding jigs with Class II
intermaxillary elastics) The techniques that rely
less on patient cooperation include repelling
magnets, transpalatal arches, compressed coil
springs, and the Herbst appliance.
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics December 1996
Gaining space in the mandible is more difficult
than in the maxilla. Extraoral appliances are
seldom attached to the mandibular molars
because of the pressure they place on the
condyles. The most commonly used intraoral
appliances are lip bumpers, lingual arches, and
removable appliances with screws or springs
(which depend on patient compliance for their
success ).
JCO/SEPTEMBER 2000
Other than the third molars and maxillary
canines, the mandibular second premolars have
the highest percentage of impaction. One of the
major causes is early extraction of the deciduous
predecessor, which can cause a mesial drift and
tilt of the molars that impedes the eruption of
the second premolar.
Placing an open-coil spring on the archwire
between the first molar and the first premolar is
the technique most commonly used to move the
migrated molars back to their original positions
and create enough space for the impacted tooth to
erupt. To prevent a reactive mesial drift of the
anterior teeth, however, the upper arch must be
anchored with a headgear and intermaxillary
Class III elastics.
Third molar angulation during and
after treatment in relation to
Impaction
It is suggested that premolar extraction therapy
has a favourable effect on maxillary third molar
angulation, while changes in mandibular third molar
angulation during treatment may be similar in
patients treated with and without premolar
extractions. The findings also indicate that distal
tipping of the maxillary third molars during active
treatment, more than 30 degrees of distal
angulation, and any mesial angulation relative to the
occlusal plane at the end of treatment, are risk
factors for subsequent impaction
European Journal of Orthodontics 27 (2005) 590–596
• In addition, mandibular third molars
angulated more than 40 degrees mesially
relative to the occlusal plane at the end of
treatment may be at increased risk of
impaction. Changes in third molar angulation
from one direction to another may be
common in both arches during the fi nal
stages of root development, and less than 50
per cent of erupted third molars assume an
ideal angulation in the dental arch.
European Journal of Orthodontics 27 (2005) 590–596
THIRD MOLARS Extraction
Third molars that have erupted or are close to
erupting tend to impede the distal movement of the
first and second molars. For this reason, they are
removed when possible. However, the decision to
extract these teeth has important strategy implications.
If third molars are removed, molar distal movement to
gain the space to resolve the malocclusion is virtually
mandatory because maxillary premolar extraction is no
longer tenable as it would involve extracting four teeth
in the same arch.
Gianelly -American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics July 1998
After third molars have been extracted and
progress is inadequate when moving both first and
second molars posteriorly at the same time, the
procedure is changed and the molars are moved in
sequential manner as described; second molar
distal movement is followed by first molar distal
movement. The gain in safety compensates for the
increased time necessary to complete molar distal
movement.

DIST AL MOVEMENT OF BUCCAL
SEGMENT (SCHWARZ)
Distal movement of an upper buccal segment after
extraction of the second molar can be accomplished
by means of the appliance illustrated. A hard metal
screw is placed with its long axis parallel to the line
of the segment to be moved and to the occlusal
plane. A short, steep inclined plane is incorporated
to assist anchorage by applying some forward
pressure to the lower incisors (Inset). A spur or half-
clasp on the left lateral incisor prevents this tooth
drifting distally.

Cetlin appliance
Distalization Treatment:
Several different treatment modalities may be employed
to distalize the posterior dentition. Possibilities include
removable appliances such as a modified Cetlin appliance.
This type of appliance has a high acceptance among adult
patients because it facilitates good oral hygiene and allows
adaptation to lingual appliance during the initial phase. The
removable Cetlin appliance is constructed from 2 Adams
clasps on the first premolars, distalizing springs on the
second premolars and on the first molars, distalizing screws
between the first and second premolars, and an anterior
bite plane. The appliance does not include any metal clasps
from cuspid to cuspid due to esthetic consideration.
Modified Cetlin appliance. Note the distalization screws.

Acrylic cervical occipital (ACCO)
This appliance consists of an acrylic palatal
section (1 mm bite plate) to disclude the
posterior teeth, modified Adams clasps on the
first premolars, a labial bow across the incisors
for retention, finger springs against the mesial
aspects of the first molars for molar distalization
in association with an extraoral traction . With
the combined use of ACCO and headgear, molars
can be moved distally in a more bodily fashion.
The finger springs move the crowns, and the
headgear moves the roots .

A Removable Class II Appliance
for Simultaneous Distalization
and Expansion
Treatment of a case of Class II malocclusion
with maxillary arch constriction and anterior
crowding generally involves expanding the arch,
distalizing the molars, and aligning the anterior
teeth.This article introduces a removable
appliance that can simultaneously correct a
Vshaped upper archform and move the upper
molars distally.
JCO/OCTOBER 2005
Removable appliance for simultaneous molar
distalization and maxillary expansion.
JCO/OCTOBER 2005
The acrylic plate of the appliance is fabricated with
occlusal coverage to maintain anchorage, prevent
occlusal interferences, and control the vertical
dimension and molar tipping. Mechanical retention is
provided by Adams clasps on the first molars and
finger springs on the premolars. A Bertoni multiple-
sector palatal screw is embedded in the acrylic at the
level of the contact points of the first molars and
second premolars, bisecting the midpalatal raphe.
Placing the screw in this position and sectioning the
acrylic plate into three parts makes it possible to
simultaneously move the molars distally and expand
the anterior archform.
JCO/OCTOBER 2005
For distalization, the screw is activated in a
sagittal direction once a day during the first two
weeks. For expansion, a transverse activation is
begun in the second week with a quarter-rotation
per day. In the third week, both activations should
be reduced to every other day until the molars
have reached a Class I relationship and sufficient
expansion has been achieved. The appliance
should then be left in place for passive retention,
of about half the duration of the expansion.

Removable Molar Distalization Splint
Appliance Design
The clear splint is made from 1.5mm Biocryl in a Biostar
machine. If both upper first molars are to be moved distally
at the same time, the splint extends from the area of the
upper right first or second premolar to the area of the upper
left first or second premolar. If only one molar is to be
moved, the splint extends to the terminal molar on the
opposite side (Fig.). Two internal clasps are used for
retention, and a nickel titanium open-coil spring produces
about 220g of distal force at the beginning of treatment The
coils are reactivated when they have been compressed as far
as the bonded molar button or the molar band.

Using Extra-oral Traction
The use of headgear for the distal movement of
maxillary molar teeth has probably been the most
frequently used adjunct to fixed appliance
therapy over the last fifty years. Headgear was
originally described by pioneers such as Farrar,
Goddard and Kingsley and further modified by
Angle in 1888. The use of cervical headgear
increased in the1950s following the work of Kloehn.
It is still widely used today, however, there is a
perception that when possible, clinicians today
may be seeking and using other alternative options.
Dental Effect
Headgear being a tooth-borne appliance, produces
certain dental effects along with a skeletal change.
Headgears usually cause distalization of the maxillary
molars. Along with this, extrusion or intrusion of the
molar may also be seen if the extraoral attachment is
cervical or Occipital respectively. In most skeletal Class
II problems a cervical headgear is not desired as the
extrusion of the maxillary molar caused by the
inferiorly directed force which causes downward and
backward mandibular rotation, thus worsening the
problem.

first visit the removable appliance only was fitted with
instructions for it to be worn full time, including
meals. Not until this had been achieved was the
headgear added. The short outer bow was angled
slightly upward to permit application of the extraoral
force through the center of resistance of the first
molar to minimize tipping of the dentition. A force of
200 to 300 gm per side was applied, and the children
were requested to wear their headgear every night
and for a few hours in the evening as well. A diary was
to be kept so that the clinician could check on
progress. American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics Orlon et aL 243 Volume 109, No, 3

The molar distalizing bow (MDB)
The molar distalizing bow (MDB) guarantees
controlled distal movement of the molars. It is
easy to handle, can be removed at any time and
can be worn almost full time. Since there is no
extra-oral force, there are no unphysiological
effects on the cervical spine and neck muscles or
on the molars to be moved. Furthermore, there
is no risk of injury by wearing the appliance.
Modifications of the basic appliance broaden the
range of applications.
N. JECKEL AND T. RAKOSI European Journal of Orthodontics 13(1991)41-46
Shape and function of the MDB
The appliance consists of an 0.8-1.5-mm thick
thermoplastic splint extending into the buccal
sulcus (Fig. 1). The distalizing bow fits into the
anterior slot (Fig. 1). The ends of the bow fit to
conventional headgear tubes on the molars to be
distalized (Fig. 1). The force can be generated either
by coil springs around the bow or by loops within
the bow itself (Fig. 2a). The amount of distal
movement can be regulated with adjust- able stops
(Fig. 2a). In its inactive state the central section of
the MDB lies approximately 2 mm in front of and
1.5 mm above the anterior slot (Fig. 2b).
To activate the appliance the central section of
the bow must be fitted in the anterior slot by
manual pressure against the elastic resistance of
the springs or loops so that the force generated
Is transmitted to the molar tubes. The molar
tubes must be in the same plane as the anterior
slot or just above it.

Springs and Wires
Perhaps the simplest, cheapest, and oldest of
these devices is the compressed-coil spring.
Gianelly and colleagues recommended placing
nickel titanium coil springs on .016" × .022"
stainless steel sectional wires from first
premolar to first molar. When compressed, each
coil produces approximately 100g of force to
move the molar distally along the wire.
Ni–Ti coil springs
• Gianelly et al. have developed another distalization
system consisting of 100 g Ni–Ti superelastic coil
springs placed on a passive 0.016” · 0.022” wire
between first molar and first premolar. In addition, a
Nance-type appliance is cemented onto the first
premolars. To enhance anchorage further, an 0.018”
uprighting spring is placed in the vertical slot of the
premolar bracket, directing the crown distally ,and
Class II elastics are used. Because the line of force
action lies occlusally and buccally in respect to the
centre of resistance of the molar, we would expect the
molar to be distally tipped and rotated. These side-
effects have been confirmed by Pieringer et al, who
reported a distal-crown tipping of maxillary molars
and a buccal tipping of the maxillary incisors in all the
patients treated with such appliance.

Nickel Titanium Double-Loop System for
Simultaneous Distalization of First and
Second Molars
Appliance Design
1. The mandibular first and second molars and second bicuspids are banded,
and the remaining mandibular teeth are bonded. A lip bumper is placed to
prevent any extrusion from the use of Class II elastics.
2. The maxillary molars and bicuspids are banded, and the anterior teeth are
bonded. The arch is aligned as usual.
3. An 80g NeoSentalloy archwire (regular mandibular archform recommended)
is placed on the maxillary arch and marked distal to the first bicuspid
bracket and about 5mm distal to the first molar tube (the distobuccal cusp
can be used as a landmark). Stops are then crimped in the archwire at each
mark.
4. Two sectional nickel titanium archwires (one for each side) are prepared by
crimping stops distal and mesial to the second bicuspids and about 5mm
distal to each second molar tube (Fig. 1).
5. Uprighting springs are inserted into the vertical slots of the first bicuspid
bands, and Class II elastics (6oz, 5/16") are placed between the mandibular
first molars and the maxillary canine bracket hooks.This system produces
simultaneous and bodily distal movement of the first and second molars
(Fig. 1).

Wilson bimetric distalizing arch (BDA)
system
It consists of a buccal upper arch with an open
coil spring pushing against the first molar bands.
Patient co-operation with Class II intermaxillary
elastics is required to prevent advancement of the
maxillary incisors. Anchorage in the lower arch is
reinforced by means of a 3-D lower lingual arch
contacting the cingulae of the incisors and
attached to the lingual of the mandibular first
molars. If maximum anchorage is required, a full
fixed appliance can be bonded on the lower arch.

Pendulum
It consists of a Nance button that incorporates four
occlusal rests that are bonded either to the deciduous
molars or to the first and second bicuspids. An alternative
method is to solder retaining wires to bands on
the maxillary first bicuspids. Two TMA 0.032” springs
inserted into an 0.036” lingual sheath on the maxillary
molar bands are used as active elements for molar
distalization. The springs are mounted as close to the
centre and distal edge of the button as possible to
produce a broad, swinging arc (or pendulum) of force
Biomechanical force system produced by the Pendulum – occlusal view.
Each spring consists of a closed helix, an
omegashaped adjustable horizontal loop for molar
expansion and prevention of the cross-bite following
the palatal movement of the molar . The force is
applied occlusally in respect to the centre of resistance
of the molar. Therefore, the molars are not distalized in
a bodily fashion, but distal tipping is expected. If
expansion of the maxillary arch is indicated, then a
midline screw is added to the appliance (Pend-X). An
alternative is a fixed rapid palatal expander that
incorporates the rotation and distalization components
of the Pendulum appliance
Distal-Jet
Carano and Testa described the design and use of this appliance.
Bilateral tubes of 0.036” internal diameter are attached to an
acrylic Nance button. A Ni–Ti coil spring and a screw clamp are slid
over each tube. The wire from the acrylic ends in a bayonet bend
and inserts into a palatal sheath on the molar band. An anchor
wire from the Nance button is soldered to the bands on the first or
second premolars. The Distal-Jet is reactivated by sliding the clamp
closer to the first molar once a month. The force acts close to the
centre of resistance of the molars , thus, we would expect less
molar tipping and a better bodily movement compared with other
intraoral distalizing devices. The force, however, is applied
palatally. Therefore, the rotational control of the molars during
distalization is quite difficult and, once distalized, the mesial
rotation is a common finding.

It consists of vestibular and palatal components.
Screws are soldered on the buccal sides of the first
molar bands, occlusal to the single tubes. Split rings
welded to the second premolar bands control the
vestibular screws. In the palatal aspect the appliance is
much like a modified Nance button, but it is wider and
has a butterfly shape for added stability and support.

The Greenfield Lingual Distalizer
• The Greenfield Molar Distalizer (GMD),
introduced in March 1995,1 is a fixed appliance
with buccal and lingual pistons on each side .
Placing the pistons at the gingival level reduces
the distance of the applied force from the
center of resistance of the molar , minimizing
the crown-tipping moments that are seen with
other distalizers. Thus, the GMD produces
bodily molar movement with almost no tipping

Magnet Force System ™
This molar distalizer ties into the molar bracket
and bicuspid brackets to generate force. The
polarity of the magnets is reversed so they push
against each other with enough force to move
molars distally.
Using Repelling Magnets
Nickel-titanium Coil Springs and Repelling
Magnets: a Comparison of Two Different
Intra-oral Molar Distalization Techniques
Appliance design:
A modified Nance appliance soldered to the upper first
premolars was used, as described by Gianelly et al. (1988).
With this design, it was possible to observe any movement
of the second premolars. Prefabricated magnetic devices
(Medical Magnetics, Inc., Ramsey, N.J U.S.A.) were used on
the upper right quadrant These produced 225 g of
repelling force, when the magnets were in tight contact .
Nickel-titanium (Ortho. Organizer Inc. U.S.A.) open coil
springs size 0·014x 0·037-inch, were used on the left only.
In order to select the appropriate length of coil spring to
produce 225 g of force in each case, an intraoral gauge
was used. Coil springs were used (Ortho Organizer Inc.
U.S.A.) only on the right side of the patients .
For the activation procedure, the repelling surfaces of
the magnets were brought into contact by passing an
0·014 ligature wire through the loop on the auxiliary
wire then tying back a washer anterior to the magnets
(Fig. 1). Magnets were re-activated every week as
recommended by Gianelly et al. (1989) in order to
standardize the force level. Coil springs were activated
every month by adding a piece of a tubing (of equal
length to the amount of molar distalization) onto the
archwire at the end of the spring.

Bondemark et al. , comparing repelling magnets
vs. superelastic Ni–Ti coil springs in the distalization
of maxillary molars, found, after 6 months of
treatment, that superelastic coils were more
ef?cient than repelling magnets. This can be
explained by the differential decrease of force in
the two systems. The open coils produce a more
constant force, while the magnet forces drop rather
quickly with increased distance between the poles
as a result of physical properties. These results
were confirmed by the work of Erverdi et al.

Jones Jig
The Jones Jig is an open Ni–Ti coil spring
delivering 70–75 g of force, over a compression
range of 1–5 mm, to the molars (39). A modified
Nance appliance is attached to the upper first
or second premolars, or the second deciduous
molars. Because the line of force action lies
occlusally and buccally in respect to the centre
of resistance of the molar , we would expect
the molars to be distally tipped and rotated,
whereas the premolars to be mesially tipped.
The reports of other authors have
corroborated these side-effects

The Lokar Distalizer
Dr. Bob Lokar designed an appliance with
one thing in mind – simplicity. His Distalizer
works with any common labial fixed
appliance; and it works very well for mixed
dentition cases. The Lokar Distalizer is tied
easily into position with ligature wire. It is
similar in functionality to other labial or
lingual non-compliant distalizing systems,
however the Lokar Distalizer is encompassed
in one convenient, streamlined unit
Details for use
In using the Lokar Distalizing Appliance, 1st molars are
usually banded, but they can also be bonded. Banding
molars allows for the use of an EZ lingual arch to control
the molars during distalization (ie: expansion, rotation and
translation).
ANCHORAGE: If used with full fixed appliances, a
banded or bonded Nance can be used from the 2nd
molars. In the case of mixed dentition a bonded Nance is
recommended. If full fixed appliances are used, another
anchorage option is to ligate a full-size wire from 2nd
bicuspid to 2nd bicuspid. Dr. Lokar prefers to bond the
entire lower arch, as well as ligate a full size wire and
instruct the patient to use class II elastics.
The Sliding Jig
It is more efficient to direct the distal force
generated by a Class III elastic directly against
the molar tooth using a sliding jig. This
auxiliary may be used either on the first or
second molar tooth.
ORTHODONTIC PEARLS 2004
The auxiliary should be constructed using a
relatively stiff wire, such as 0.457x0.635 mm
(0.018x0.025 inch) or round 0.508 mm (0.020
inch). The design will vary depending on the
molar buccal attachment.
Banded or bonded single buccal tube/
edgewise bracket
In cases where the buccal tube is less than
0.914 mm (0.036 inch) in diameter or where an
edgewise bracket is being used instead of a
buccal tube.
ORTHODONTIC PEARLS 2004
Construction (Figure a b)
• Bend an eyelet with a vertical post approximately 3 mm (0.12 inch) in
height.
• Bend the horizontal arm at right angles to the plane of the eyelet.
• Place the eyelet hard up against the mesial of the molar tube or
bracket with the horizontal arm extending mesially.
• Mark the horizontal arm at least 3 mm (0.12inch) mesial to the canine
bracket or as close to the distal of the lateral bracket as possible,
remove from the mouth.
• At this point, bend the wire up at right angles to the horizontal
section in the same direction (gingival) and plane as the vertical post of
the eyelet.
• At a height of 3 mm (0.12 inch) bend the wire (towards the dental
arch as opposed to the cheek) a full 180° to create a U-loop in the
same plane as the eyelet with the long arm now extending incisally.
• Measure approximately 4 mm (0.16 inch) on this descending arm
then bend a mesially facing hook.
ORTHODONTIC PEARLS 2004
Placement
• Slip the distal end of the main archwire out of the buccal tube.
• Thread the distal end of the archwire through the eyelet of the sliding jig.
• Replace the distal end of the archwire into the buccal tube.
• From the gingival, slip the anterior hook of the sliding jig over the archwire
in an incisal direction. In a few cases it may be necessary to
temporarily untie the lateral and canine brackets for this procedure.
• Once the anterior hook is in place, use a Howe or Weingart pliers to
squeeze closed the gingival U-loop. This should prevent the hook from
slipping up gingivally.
• The patient should now be able to attach a Class II elastic to the incisally
and anteriorly facing hook.
• Check that the hook does not impinge on the cheek or gingiva.
ORTHODONTIC PEARLS 2004
Banded or bonded double and/or
triple buccal tubes
Construction
• Bend a 3 mm (0.12 inch) vertical offset in an occlusal
direction.
• Place the distal end into one of the tubes not
holding the main arch.
• Slide the vertical offset up against the mesial of
the buccal tube.
• Mark and construct the anterior section as
described above.
ORTHODONTIC PEARLS 2004
Placement
With this design it is not necessary to disengage the
distal end of the main arch.
• Slide the distal end of the auxiliary into the free buccal
tube.
• Slip the anterior section into place as described
above.
• Make sure the distal extension of the jig is long
enough to prevent the jig from sliding out of the molar
tube.
ORTHODONTIC PEARLS 2004
Banded or bonded single round buccal
tube
The internal diameter of the buccal tube
is 0.914 mm (0.036 inch) or greater. The
design and fitting is the same as for the
double buccal tube (Figure 2). However, the
sliding jig wire size must not be greater
than 0.508 mm (0.020 inch) in order to fit
into the tube together with a 0.406 mm
(0.016 inch) main archwire. The combined
size of the sliding jig and the main archwire
cannot exceed 0.914 mm (0.036 inch).
Banded or bonded buccal tube with a
vertical slot
Construction
• The wire size of the jig must match the size of
the vertical slot of 0.457 mm (0.018 inch).
• Bend a 3 mm (0.12 inch) vertical post at right
angles to the main section.
• Slip the post into the vertical slot.
• Mark and construct the anterior section as
described above.
ORTHODONTIC PEARLS 2004
Placement
If the gingival margin of the band or tube is hard up
against the gingival soft tissues or if there is gingival
in?ammation or hypertrophy, this design is unsuitable.
However, provided there is adequate space
between the gingival edge of the buccal tube and the
soft tissue gingival margin, then from the occlusal
aspect insert the vertical post of the sliding jig into
the vertical slot of the buccal tube.
• With a ‘bird beak’ pliers grip the end of the post
protruding through the vertical slot of the buccal and
bend it horizontally.
• Slip the anterior section into place as described
above.
Advantages of the sliding jig
• It can be easily constructed at the chair-side.
• It can be added to the current fixed appliance
without having to remove or modify any
component of the existing appliance.
Disadvantage of the sliding jig
• It requires the use of Class II elastics,which
are in turn, dependent on patient compliance
and anchorage considerations.

K-Loop Molar Distalizing Appliance ™
Developed in Consultation with Dr . Varun Kalra
Used to distalize molars in a more bodily fashion as
the special V-bend in the K-Loop moves both the
crown and root distally. Made of CNA Beta III
Titanium, the K-Loop produces gentle continuous
forces for efficient and effective tooth movement.
Activation:
Step 1: Insert K-Loop into first molar tube and first
premolar bracket. Place a mark just mesial to the
molar tube and distal to the premolar bracket.
Step 2: Place 2.0mm high step bend 2.0mm distal to
the molar mark and 2.0mm mesial to the premolar
mark.
Step 3: Insert K-Loop in place and ligate into premolar
bracket. Place a cinch back bend mesial to the
premolar bracket as shown.

Distalization Appliances
for Class II Correction
JCO/JANUARY 2008 Berkman, Haerian, and McNamara
A-The Herbst Appliance
The Herbst appliance, developed more than a
century ago, was designed to “jump the bite” of
Class II patients. Reintroduced by Pancherz in the
late 1970s, the modern Herbst appliance
incorporated thick bands on the maxillary first
molars, connected to bands on the mandibular
first premolars by a rigid plunger-in-tube system
that forced the lower jaw into a forward position
during closure. Subsequent banded designs have
incorporated bands on the lower first molars as
well.

in the maxillary posterior segments. The upper
molars may be distalized as much as 5-6mm if the
maxillary molars are connected directly and solely
to the Herbst without any intra-arch consolidation,
as would occur with a rapid palatal expander
or full edgewise appliances. When the appliance is
used during comprehensive edgewise orthodontic
treatment, maxillary molar movement generally is
much less, in the range of 1-3mm.

B-The Jasper Jumper and
Related Appliances
In 1987, J.J. Jasper developed and patented the
Jasper Jumper , which featured a stainless steel
compression spring housed in a polyurethane
sheath.33 The Jasper Jumper was viewed by the
inventor as a modification of the Herbst “bite-
jumping” mechanism that would permit greater
freedom of mandibular movement . The
compression module, which is available in multiple
lengths, may be anchored to the main archwire,
attached directly to teeth, or connected with various
jig modifications
Jumper mechanism connected to a SS 0.017” x 0.025”sectional wire
The Jasper Jumper is flexible, and in fact
obtains its force-generating potential from its
flexibility. Because the appliance bends, it is
activated when the patient’s mandible is
elevated from an open position. This activation,
a build-up of internal stress, is released
continuously during periods of mandibular
closure or near-closure.The appliance is
designed to deliver approximately 60-250g of
force
Jasper Jumper and cross-section of force module.
Cope et al. described the orthopaedic and
orthodontic changes associated with the Jasper
Jumper therapy. They showed that the majority
of action was the result of dental, rather than
skeletal change, although the maxilla underwent
significant posterior displacement and the
mandible backward rotation. The maxillary
molars underwent significant distal tipping and
relative intrusion, of greater magnitude than
found with the Herbst. The mandibular incisors
underwent significant uncontrolled buccal tipping
and intrusion.

C-Mandibular Anterior
Repositioning Appliance
Another increasingly popular appliance for
correction of Class II malocclusion is the
Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appliance
(MARA), a fixed device fabricated on stainless steel
crowns that commonly are placed over the
maxillary and mandibular first permanent molars .
Reintroduced in its present form in 1991 by Drs.
Douglas Toll (Germany) and James Eckhart (United
States), it is indicated for use throughout the late
mixed dentition and into adulthood.
The MARA’s extension arms prevent the patient
from closing in a natural Class II relationship,
requiring mandibular hyperpropulsion to achieve
intercuspation. The MARA is classified as a
functional appliance in part because it causes
forward repositioning of the lower jaw for the
duration of its use.
Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appli ance
S
The MARA has been reported to have effects
generally similar to those of the Herbst
appliance, with a few exceptions. Whereas
maxillary molar intrusion is a characteristic
feature of the Herbst,this finding has not been
reported with the MARA.the dental changes
are due mainly to maxillary molar distalization,
which accounts for about 77% of the total
dental correction, with the remaining 23% due
to mesial mandibular molar movement.
The Carriere Distalizer
Mandibular Molar Distalization
The most prevalent device used to distalize
lower molars was the lip bumper. Next most
popular were compressed nickel titanium coil
springs, which were usually used in conjunction
with some mechanism to control flaring of the
anterior teeth.To a much lesser extent, were tip-
back auxiliary springs, miniscrews, and Class III
elastics. Lower second molars were sometimes
extracted prior to distalization of the lower first
molars.
JOHN J. SHERIDAN 2007 JCO VOLUME XLI NUMBER 8
Removable appliances
Sagittal Appliance
This is a removable appliance with a screw
incorporated for the distalization of the first
permanent molars (Fig.). The anchorage is gained
by the remaining teeth anterior to the first
permanent molars. Retention clasps are used to
hold the appliance in place. The activation of the
screw causes the molars to be pushed distally.
Sagittal Appliance
Sagittal Appliance
The intraoral appliances take anchorage from
the palate and the anteriorly placed premolars.
By pitting more root surface area and/ or the
rugae region of the palate these appliances are
able to minimize the proclining effect of the
reciprocal forces generated while distalizing the
molars. Here also the efficiency of the
appliances is more before the eruption of the
second permanent molars.
Headgear Therapy to Distalize Molars
Four molar bands are placed, the upper molars
receive the KGR, and the lower molars via .045
buccal tubes provide attachment for an .022“arch
wire supporting sliding hooks via open coil springs.
The arch is ligated to the incisors and stopped at
the canine area. The coil springs are activated
periodically by extending them. ClassIII elastics are
worn only when the headgear is worn.

Lower Molar Distalization with
the Unilateral Frozat Appliance
This article describes an alternative treat-
ment, using an asymmetrically activated lingual
arch, that allows an intersegmental correction of
the malocclusion. A rigid and passive buccal wire
segment provides sufficient anchorage without
the need for special patient cooperation.
JCO/DECEMBER 2004
Fig. Passive unilateral Frozat appliance on patient’s cast. B. Lingual arch activated at anchor
molar band with three-prong plier. C. Antirotation bend placed in lingual arch at target molar
band. D. Appliance activated with about 200g of force.
Unilateral Frozat Appliance
A modification of the Frozat (fixed Crozat) appliance initially
developed by Mayes, the unilateral Frozat appliance consists
of two molar bands soldered to an .038" Blue Elgiloy* or
.040“ stainless steel wire (Fig. 1A). The wire is fabricated on
the patient’s setup cast with lingual steps bent mesial to the
molars and the distance from the alveolar process kept as
constant as possible in the anterior segment. On the anchor
side the lingual arch is bent into an occlusal U-loop distal to
the solder point on the molar band, then curved around to
form the lingual arm of the appliance. Care must be taken to
ensure that this arm is in contact with the lingual surfaces of
all the anchor teeth, and that the wire segment inserted
buccally on these teeth is as rigid and passive as possible. The
lingual arm and the segmental archwire combine to form one
large, multiroot anchor unit, as described by Bench with
regard to the Quad Helix.
The unilateral Frozat appliance is activated by using
an Aderer three-prong plier to make a 1st order
bend on the anchor side of the lingual arch, near
the molar band (Fig. 1B). An antirotation bend must
then be placed in the lingual arch in the region of
the molar to be distalized (Fig.1C). This activation
eliminates the risk of any contact between the
molar root and the lingual cortical bone, so that the
desired distalization takes place in the cancellous
bone. Before placing the appliance in the mouth, a
distalizing force of about 180-200g should be
verified on the cast(Fig. 1D).
The appliance must be inserted with caution to
preserve the activation and prevent distortion of
the bands. We recommend first inserting the molar
band on the anchor side and then extending the
appliance along the lingual surfaces of the teeth
until the molar band on the distalization side can
be cemented without difficulty. If necessary, the
unilateral Frozat appliance can be extraorally
reactivated and recemented at later appointments.

Mandibular Molar Distalization
with the Franzulum Appliance
This article presents a new device, based on the
Pendulum, that can distalize mandibular molars
without the drawbacks of other appliances.
Byloff, Darendeliler, and Stoff JCO/SEPTEMBER 2000
Appliance Design :
The Franzulum Appliance’s anterior anchorage
unit is an acrylic button, positioned lingually and
inferiorly to the mandibular anterior teeth, and
extending from the mandibular left canine to the
mandibular right canine (Fig. 1A). The acrylic
should be at least 5mm wide to avoid mucosal
trauma and to dissipate the reactive force
produced by the distalizing components. Rests
on the canines and first premolars are made
from .032" stainless steel wire. Tubes between
the second premolars and first molars receive the
active components.
Byloff, Darendeliler, and Stoff JCO/SEPTEMBER 2000
The posterior distalizing unit uses nickel
titanium coil springs,about 18mm in length, which
apply an initial force of 100-120g per side. A J-
shaped wire passing through each coil (Fig. 1B) is
inserted into the corresponding tube of the
anchorage unit (Fig. 1C); the recurved posterior
portion of the wire is engaged in the lingual sheath
of the mandibular first molar band (Fig. 1D). The
anchorage unit is bonded with composite resin to
the canines and first premolars. The J-shaped
distalizing unit is then ligated to the lingual sheaths
of the molar bands, compressing the coil springs.
Thus, the active part of the appliance runs lingually
at a level close to the center of resistance of the
molar, to produce an almost pure bodily movement.
Essix-based molar distalization
appliance
The laboratory technique The fabrication
sequence for the Essix-based molar distalization
appliance is described on a demonstration case as
follows: - A polyvinyl siloxane or an accurate
alginate impression must be taken to encompass
the complete dentition and one-third of the
alveolus. A working cast is obtained from quality
die stone. To increase the efficiency of
thermoforming, the long axis of the incisors should
be perpendicular to the base of the cast and
ideally, the cast should only be about 2 cm high.
-Vacuum a 0.040-inch (1 mm) sheet of Essix type
A plastic over the prepared model, remove
from the vacuum machine and allow it to cool.
Do not cut off the excess plastic around the
model (Figure 1).
- Place expansion screws (Dentaurum) just mesial
to the molars, while the Essix appliance is on
the model (Figure 2).
- To keep the orthodontic acrylic (to be added to
the Essix plastic) minimal in the buccal sections,
box out the vestibular aspects with baseplate
wax. Apply the orthodontic acrylic only to the
lingual side of the appliance (Figure 3).
- Cut away the plastic with a wheel saw and
remove the appliance from the model after
polymerization. Trim the lingual border of
appliance in the same manner as a conventional
removable appliance. However, the Essix plate
must be extended 3–4 mm onto the gingivae on
the buccal side. On the working cast, remove the
sections of the appliance covering the occlusal
surfaces of erupting teeth. Finalize the fabrication
by polishing (Figure 4a–c).
Effect of lip bumpers(LB) on
mandibular arch dimensions
In this systematic review, we discussed the effects
of LB treatment. The key question was “what are the
effects of the LB on mandibular arch dimensions in
adolescents compared with untreated patients?”
Our results showed increases in arch dimensions
that in- cluded an increase in arch length. This was
attributed to incisor proclination, distalization, and
distal tipping of the molars. There were also
increases in arch width and intercanine and
deciduous intermolar or premolar distances. The
long-term stability of the effects of the LB need to
be elucidated.

CD Distalizer
C.D. Distalizer is a fixed orthodontic appliance
used to distalize molars on either the upper or
lower arch.Patients and doctors have had good
acceptance due to its easy wear and adjustability.
Developed by Dr. Peter Ching, this fixed
appliance can be used in either unilateral or
bilateral configurations and allow doctors to gain
up to 1 m of molar distalization per month.
Website: www.johnsdental.com
Website: www.johnsdental.com
Contents:
The appliance consists of an anterior segment,
banding the first bicuspids, with a Nance button
and lingual arch wire to act as anchorage. Vertical
tubes are soldered to the buccal surface of the first
bicuspid bands. A .036 wire, with a 5 mm tube, is
placed on the molar band and then inserted into
the vertical tube on the bicuspid band. A small
bend is made in the .036 wire, at the gingival, to
hold the wire in place. The end is heat-treated for
ease of bending.
Adjustments:
At each patient visit, approximately every
three to four weeks, the Gurin lock is loosened
and pushed distally to compress the coil
spring. When the spring is compressed, the
lock is tightened to keep the coil spring
activated. Repeat this procedure at each
patient visit until the molars are in their
desired position.
Wilson Lingual Arch
3D Lingual Arch
Sophisticated Lingual Arch engineering. Vertical insertion, with a
friction lock provides maximum anchorage and permits multiple
auxiliary functions not possible with horizontal insertion. Twin vertical
posts provide molar control, torque and rotations that are
geometrically predictable.
The diamond loop design of the 3D Activator has dynamic three
dimensional force mechanics and multidirectional movement
possibilities with predictable forces. It has a lingual offset to avoid
mucosa compression. There are five angles in the activator that can
be adjusted slightly to give geometric predictable force vectors. Force
is dissipated 100%, resulting in a rapid controlled movement. The
resilience of the Activator produces the force.
Measurement is from mesial post to mesial post.

Directional force treatment for an adult with
Class III malocclusion and open bite
Lima and Lima American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics June 2006
TREATMENT PROGRESS
The proposed orthodontic treatment involved
fixed appliances in both arches, extraction of the
mandibular third molars, and the patient’s
cooperation using a J-hook headgear. A .022 .028-
in standard edgewise appliance was placed. The
main objective of the initial mechanics was to use
rectangular archwires for the distal movement of
the mand with the second molars. A loop in a
.019x .026-in archwire was bent flush against the
second molar tubes and activated with a high-pull
headgear with J-hooks, worn 10 to 12 hours per
day, and by hooks soldered mesial to the canines.
After alignment and leveling of the maxillary
teeth, a .019 .026-in archwire supported Class III
elastics and vertical anterior elastics at night.
Distal movement of mandibular second molars with loop mesial to
mandibular second molars and high-pull J-hook headgear in spurs
soldered at anterior region.
After distal movement of the mandibular
second molars, the J-hooks and high-pull
headgear were used to distalize the first molars .
The mandibular molars were tied together to
support the distal movement of the premolars
with elastomeric chains . The mandibular canines
were also distalized with the directional force of
the J-hook.
Distal position of mandibular second molars and jigs for distal movement of mandibular
first molars with high pull J-hook headgear.
Distal movement of mandibular second premolars with elastomeric chains and
canines with J-hooks, and retraction of mandibular incisors.
A new archwire, .019X .026-in with closing loops distal
to the lateral incisors, was used to retract the mandibular
incisors. The directional force mechanics were performed
in steps, and the overbite and crossbite were corrected
by the counterclockwise rotation of the mandible and
distal movement of the teeth. After Class I molar and
canine relationships were attained, .215X.275-in
coordinated archwires were placed, and vertical right and
left elastics were used to finish the occlusion . Active
treatment time was 28 months. The teeth were retained
with a maxillary removable Hawley appliance and a fixed
lingual arch from canine to canine. The 3-year
postretention records show the stability of the occlusion,
despite the need for continuous mandibular lingual
retention.
Case Report-2
C-Orthodontic Microimplant for Distalization of
Mandibular Dentition in Class III Correction
Angle Orthodontist, Vol 75, No 1, 2005
Treatment progress
Two C-implants were implanted in the interdental
spaces between the upper second premolars and
first molars. After incision of the mucosal area,
drilling was carried out at 1500 rpm of drill speed
and 15 Ncm of drill pressure with profuse irrigation
with isotonic saline solution. The 1.5-mm diameter
guide drill (Carl Martin, GmbH, Solingen, Germany)
was selected when drilling to depth in cortical bone.
The screw part was placed clockwise into the
prepared site using internal and external sterile
saline cooling .After an 8-week healing period,
the head part of C-implant was assembled into
the screw part by lightly tapping with a small
mallet 1 to 2 times. Immediate loading is
possible, mainly in areas where dense bone is
located and where primary stability can be
achieved .
Treatment was initiated with the leveling and
distalization of the lower posterior dentition.
Because of the patient’s dental and skeletal
problems, no bonds were placed on the maxillary
anterior and right posterior teeth. However ,
brackets were placed on the upper left posterior
teeth, followed by the placement of a segmented
0.022 0.028 inch preadjusted arch wire appliance
for intrusion of the upper left second molar . The
lower third molars were all
upper left second molar . The lower third molars
were all removed. The patient was instructed to
wear Class III elastics as long as possible to move the
lower dentition distally. The missing lower anterior
space was almost completely regained after 12
months of active tooth movement . The fixed
appliances were removed, and a tooth positioner
was used for 1 month for finishing. The retention
was provided by an upper fixed retainer and
removable lower Hawley retainer .

Molar distalization

  • 1. MOLAR DISTALIZATION Supervisor Prof.Dr Maher Fouda By: Bara’ Hanandah
  • 2. Introduction Treatment of Class II malocclusions frequently requires distalization of maxillary molars into a Class I relationship. A variety of treatment modalities have been suggested, including those that are heavily dependent on patient compliance such as extraoral traction, removable appliances with finger springs,Wilson arches, and sliding jigs with Class II intermaxillary elastics) The techniques that rely less on patient cooperation include repelling magnets, transpalatal arches, compressed coil springs, and the Herbst appliance. American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics December 1996
  • 3. Gaining space in the mandible is more difficult than in the maxilla. Extraoral appliances are seldom attached to the mandibular molars because of the pressure they place on the condyles. The most commonly used intraoral appliances are lip bumpers, lingual arches, and removable appliances with screws or springs (which depend on patient compliance for their success ). JCO/SEPTEMBER 2000
  • 4. Other than the third molars and maxillary canines, the mandibular second premolars have the highest percentage of impaction. One of the major causes is early extraction of the deciduous predecessor, which can cause a mesial drift and tilt of the molars that impedes the eruption of the second premolar.
  • 5. Placing an open-coil spring on the archwire between the first molar and the first premolar is the technique most commonly used to move the migrated molars back to their original positions and create enough space for the impacted tooth to erupt. To prevent a reactive mesial drift of the anterior teeth, however, the upper arch must be anchored with a headgear and intermaxillary Class III elastics.
  • 6. Third molar angulation during and after treatment in relation to Impaction It is suggested that premolar extraction therapy has a favourable effect on maxillary third molar angulation, while changes in mandibular third molar angulation during treatment may be similar in patients treated with and without premolar extractions. The findings also indicate that distal tipping of the maxillary third molars during active treatment, more than 30 degrees of distal angulation, and any mesial angulation relative to the occlusal plane at the end of treatment, are risk factors for subsequent impaction European Journal of Orthodontics 27 (2005) 590–596
  • 7. • In addition, mandibular third molars angulated more than 40 degrees mesially relative to the occlusal plane at the end of treatment may be at increased risk of impaction. Changes in third molar angulation from one direction to another may be common in both arches during the fi nal stages of root development, and less than 50 per cent of erupted third molars assume an ideal angulation in the dental arch. European Journal of Orthodontics 27 (2005) 590–596
  • 8. THIRD MOLARS Extraction Third molars that have erupted or are close to erupting tend to impede the distal movement of the first and second molars. For this reason, they are removed when possible. However, the decision to extract these teeth has important strategy implications. If third molars are removed, molar distal movement to gain the space to resolve the malocclusion is virtually mandatory because maxillary premolar extraction is no longer tenable as it would involve extracting four teeth in the same arch. Gianelly -American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics July 1998
  • 9. After third molars have been extracted and progress is inadequate when moving both first and second molars posteriorly at the same time, the procedure is changed and the molars are moved in sequential manner as described; second molar distal movement is followed by first molar distal movement. The gain in safety compensates for the increased time necessary to complete molar distal movement. Gianelly -American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics July 1998
  • 11. Using Removable Appliances • RESISTANCE TO TOOTH MOVEMENT (ANCHORAGE), 2 Distal movement of a buccal segment Following extraction of an upper second molar the first molar and both premolars of that side may be moved distally, three teeth moving against an anchorage of nine teeth. The labially displaced canine is not included in either part of the appliance.

  • 13. DIST AL MOVEMENT OF BUCCAL SEGMENT (SCHWARZ) Distal movement of an upper buccal segment after extraction of the second molar can be accomplished by means of the appliance illustrated. A hard metal screw is placed with its long axis parallel to the line of the segment to be moved and to the occlusal plane. A short, steep inclined plane is incorporated to assist anchorage by applying some forward pressure to the lower incisors (Inset). A spur or half- clasp on the left lateral incisor prevents this tooth drifting distally. An Atlas of Removable Orthodontic Appliances Second edition GORDON C. DICKSON &ALBERT E. WHEATLY
  • 14. Rate of activation The screw is turned at the rate of one quarter-turn per week. Construction Screw: Hard metal (stainless steel) with guide pin Spur:O.6mm stainless steel wire Retention: Adams clasps on 64/46 Baseplate: Full palate with anterior inclined plane, divided by two cuts, one across the screw and the other exactly parallel with the buccal segment to be moved and with the long axis of the screw An Atlas of Removable Orthodontic Appliances Second edition GORDON C. DICKSON &ALBERT E. WHEATLY

  • 16. Cetlin appliance Distalization Treatment: Several different treatment modalities may be employed to distalize the posterior dentition. Possibilities include removable appliances such as a modified Cetlin appliance. This type of appliance has a high acceptance among adult patients because it facilitates good oral hygiene and allows adaptation to lingual appliance during the initial phase. The removable Cetlin appliance is constructed from 2 Adams clasps on the first premolars, distalizing springs on the second premolars and on the first molars, distalizing screws between the first and second premolars, and an anterior bite plane. The appliance does not include any metal clasps from cuspid to cuspid due to esthetic consideration.

  • 18. Acrylic cervical occipital (ACCO) This appliance consists of an acrylic palatal section (1 mm bite plate) to disclude the posterior teeth, modified Adams clasps on the first premolars, a labial bow across the incisors for retention, finger springs against the mesial aspects of the first molars for molar distalization in association with an extraoral traction . With the combined use of ACCO and headgear, molars can be moved distally in a more bodily fashion. The finger springs move the crowns, and the headgear moves the roots . Sfondrini et al.

  • 20. A Removable Class II Appliance for Simultaneous Distalization and Expansion Treatment of a case of Class II malocclusion with maxillary arch constriction and anterior crowding generally involves expanding the arch, distalizing the molars, and aligning the anterior teeth.This article introduces a removable appliance that can simultaneously correct a Vshaped upper archform and move the upper molars distally. JCO/OCTOBER 2005
  • 21. Removable appliance for simultaneous molar distalization and maxillary expansion. JCO/OCTOBER 2005
  • 22. The acrylic plate of the appliance is fabricated with occlusal coverage to maintain anchorage, prevent occlusal interferences, and control the vertical dimension and molar tipping. Mechanical retention is provided by Adams clasps on the first molars and finger springs on the premolars. A Bertoni multiple- sector palatal screw is embedded in the acrylic at the level of the contact points of the first molars and second premolars, bisecting the midpalatal raphe. Placing the screw in this position and sectioning the acrylic plate into three parts makes it possible to simultaneously move the molars distally and expand the anterior archform. JCO/OCTOBER 2005
  • 23. For distalization, the screw is activated in a sagittal direction once a day during the first two weeks. For expansion, a transverse activation is begun in the second week with a quarter-rotation per day. In the third week, both activations should be reduced to every other day until the molars have reached a Class I relationship and sufficient expansion has been achieved. The appliance should then be left in place for passive retention, of about half the duration of the expansion. JCO/OCTOBER 2005

  • 25. Removable Molar Distalization Splint Appliance Design The clear splint is made from 1.5mm Biocryl in a Biostar machine. If both upper first molars are to be moved distally at the same time, the splint extends from the area of the upper right first or second premolar to the area of the upper left first or second premolar. If only one molar is to be moved, the splint extends to the terminal molar on the opposite side (Fig.). Two internal clasps are used for retention, and a nickel titanium open-coil spring produces about 220g of distal force at the beginning of treatment The coils are reactivated when they have been compressed as far as the bonded molar button or the molar band.

  • 28. Using Extra-oral Traction The use of headgear for the distal movement of maxillary molar teeth has probably been the most frequently used adjunct to fixed appliance therapy over the last fifty years. Headgear was originally described by pioneers such as Farrar, Goddard and Kingsley and further modified by Angle in 1888. The use of cervical headgear increased in the1950s following the work of Kloehn. It is still widely used today, however, there is a perception that when possible, clinicians today may be seeking and using other alternative options.
  • 29. Dental Effect Headgear being a tooth-borne appliance, produces certain dental effects along with a skeletal change. Headgears usually cause distalization of the maxillary molars. Along with this, extrusion or intrusion of the molar may also be seen if the extraoral attachment is cervical or Occipital respectively. In most skeletal Class II problems a cervical headgear is not desired as the extrusion of the maxillary molar caused by the inferiorly directed force which causes downward and backward mandibular rotation, thus worsening the problem.

At the first visit the removable appliance only was fitted with instructions for it to be worn full time, including meals. Not until this had been achieved was the headgear added. The short outer bow was angled slightly upward to permit application of the extraoral force through the center of resistance of the first molar to minimize tipping of the dentition. A force of 200 to 300 gm per side was applied, and the children were requested to wear their headgear every night and for a few hours in the evening as well. A diary was to be kept so that the clinician could check on progress. American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics Orlon et aL 243 Volume 109, No, 3

  • 40. The molar distalizing bow (MDB) The molar distalizing bow (MDB) guarantees controlled distal movement of the molars. It is easy to handle, can be removed at any time and can be worn almost full time. Since there is no extra-oral force, there are no unphysiological effects on the cervical spine and neck muscles or on the molars to be moved. Furthermore, there is no risk of injury by wearing the appliance. Modifications of the basic appliance broaden the range of applications. N. JECKEL AND T. RAKOSI European Journal of Orthodontics 13(1991)41-46
  • 41. Shape and function of the MDB The appliance consists of an 0.8-1.5-mm thick thermoplastic splint extending into the buccal sulcus (Fig. 1). The distalizing bow fits into the anterior slot (Fig. 1). The ends of the bow fit to conventional headgear tubes on the molars to be distalized (Fig. 1). The force can be generated either by coil springs around the bow or by loops within the bow itself (Fig. 2a). The amount of distal movement can be regulated with adjust- able stops (Fig. 2a). In its inactive state the central section of the MDB lies approximately 2 mm in front of and 1.5 mm above the anterior slot (Fig. 2b).
  • 42. To activate the appliance the central section of the bow must be fitted in the anterior slot by manual pressure against the elastic resistance of the springs or loops so that the force generated Is transmitted to the molar tubes. The molar tubes must be in the same plane as the anterior slot or just above it.

  • 46. Springs and Wires Perhaps the simplest, cheapest, and oldest of these devices is the compressed-coil spring. Gianelly and colleagues recommended placing nickel titanium coil springs on .016" × .022" stainless steel sectional wires from first premolar to first molar. When compressed, each coil produces approximately 100g of force to move the molar distally along the wire.
  • 47. Ni–Ti coil springs • Gianelly et al. have developed another distalization system consisting of 100 g Ni–Ti superelastic coil springs placed on a passive 0.016” · 0.022” wire between first molar and first premolar. In addition, a Nance-type appliance is cemented onto the first premolars. To enhance anchorage further, an 0.018” uprighting spring is placed in the vertical slot of the premolar bracket, directing the crown distally ,and Class II elastics are used. Because the line of force action lies occlusally and buccally in respect to the centre of resistance of the molar, we would expect the molar to be distally tipped and rotated. These side- effects have been confirmed by Pieringer et al, who reported a distal-crown tipping of maxillary molars and a buccal tipping of the maxillary incisors in all the patients treated with such appliance.

Stops are then crimped in the archwire at each mark. 4. Two sectional nickel titanium archwires (one for each side) are prepared by crimping stops distal and mesial to the second bicuspids and about 5mm distal to each second molar tube (Fig. 1). 5. Uprighting springs are inserted into the vertical slots of the first bicuspid bands, and Class II elastics (6oz, 5/16") are placed between the mandibular first molars and the maxillary canine bracket hooks.This system produces simultaneous and bodily distal movement of the first and second molars (Fig. 1).

  • 60. Pendulum It consists of a Nance button that incorporates four occlusal rests that are bonded either to the deciduous molars or to the first and second bicuspids. An alternative method is to solder retaining wires to bands on the maxillary first bicuspids. Two TMA 0.032” springs inserted into an 0.036” lingual sheath on the maxillary molar bands are used as active elements for molar distalization. The springs are mounted as close to the centre and distal edge of the button as possible to produce a broad, swinging arc (or pendulum) of force
  • 61. Biomechanical force system produced by the Pendulum – occlusal view.
  • 62. Each spring consists of a closed helix, an omegashaped adjustable horizontal loop for molar expansion and prevention of the cross-bite following the palatal movement of the molar . The force is applied occlusally in respect to the centre of resistance of the molar. Therefore, the molars are not distalized in a bodily fashion, but distal tipping is expected. If expansion of the maxillary arch is indicated, then a midline screw is added to the appliance (Pend-X). An alternative is a fixed rapid palatal expander that incorporates the rotation and distalization components of the Pendulum appliance
  • 63. Distal-Jet Carano and Testa described the design and use of this appliance. Bilateral tubes of 0.036” internal diameter are attached to an acrylic Nance button. A Ni–Ti coil spring and a screw clamp are slid over each tube. The wire from the acrylic ends in a bayonet bend and inserts into a palatal sheath on the molar band. An anchor wire from the Nance button is soldered to the bands on the first or second premolars. The Distal-Jet is reactivated by sliding the clamp closer to the first molar once a month. The force acts close to the centre of resistance of the molars , thus, we would expect less molar tipping and a better bodily movement compared with other intraoral distalizing devices. The force, however, is applied palatally. Therefore, the rotational control of the molars during distalization is quite difficult and, once distalized, the mesial rotation is a common finding.

  • 74. Nickel-titanium Coil Springs and Repelling Magnets: a Comparison of Two Different Intra-oral Molar Distalization Techniques
  • 75. Appliance design: A modified Nance appliance soldered to the upper first premolars was used, as described by Gianelly et al. (1988). With this design, it was possible to observe any movement of the second premolars. Prefabricated magnetic devices (Medical Magnetics, Inc., Ramsey, N.J U.S.A.) were used on the upper right quadrant These produced 225 g of repelling force, when the magnets were in tight contact . Nickel-titanium (Ortho. Organizer Inc. U.S.A.) open coil springs size 0·014x 0·037-inch, were used on the left only. In order to select the appropriate length of coil spring to produce 225 g of force in each case, an intraoral gauge was used. Coil springs were used (Ortho Organizer Inc. U.S.A.) only on the right side of the patients .
  • 76. For the activation procedure, the repelling surfaces of the magnets were brought into contact by passing an 0·014 ligature wire through the loop on the auxiliary wire then tying back a washer anterior to the magnets (Fig. 1). Magnets were re-activated every week as recommended by Gianelly et al. (1989) in order to standardize the force level. Coil springs were activated every month by adding a piece of a tubing (of equal length to the amount of molar distalization) onto the archwire at the end of the spring.

  • 80. Bondemark et al. , comparing repelling magnets vs. superelastic Ni–Ti coil springs in the distalization of maxillary molars, found, after 6 months of treatment, that superelastic coils were more ef?cient than repelling magnets. This can be explained by the differential decrease of force in the two systems. The open coils produce a more constant force, while the magnet forces drop rather quickly with increased distance between the poles as a result of physical properties. These results were confirmed by the work of Erverdi et al. Orthod Craniofacial Res 5, 2002/114–126

His Distalizer works with any common labial fixed appliance; and it works very well for mixed dentition cases. The Lokar Distalizer is tied easily into position with ligature wire. It is similar in functionality to other labial or lingual non-compliant distalizing systems, however the Lokar Distalizer is encompassed in one convenient, streamlined unit
  • 87.
  • 88. Details for use In using the Lokar Distalizing Appliance, 1st molars are usually banded, but they can also be bonded. Banding molars allows for the use of an EZ lingual arch to control the molars during distalization (ie: expansion, rotation and translation). ANCHORAGE: If used with full fixed appliances, a banded or bonded Nance can be used from the 2nd molars. In the case of mixed dentition a bonded Nance is recommended. If full fixed appliances are used, another anchorage option is to ligate a full-size wire from 2nd bicuspid to 2nd bicuspid. Dr. Lokar prefers to bond the entire lower arch, as well as ligate a full size wire and instruct the patient to use class II elastics.

The mandibular incisors underwent significant uncontrolled buccal tipping and intrusion. Orthod Craniofacial Res 5, 2002/114–126

  • 118. C-Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appliance Another increasingly popular appliance for correction of Class II malocclusion is the Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appliance (MARA), a fixed device fabricated on stainless steel crowns that commonly are placed over the maxillary and mandibular first permanent molars . Reintroduced in its present form in 1991 by Drs. Douglas Toll (Germany) and James Eckhart (United States), it is indicated for use throughout the late mixed dentition and into adulthood.
  • 119. The MARA’s extension arms prevent the patient from closing in a natural Class II relationship, requiring mandibular hyperpropulsion to achieve intercuspation. The MARA is classified as a functional appliance in part because it causes forward repositioning of the lower jaw for the duration of its use. Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appli ance
  • 120. S The MARA has been reported to have effects generally similar to those of the Herbst appliance, with a few exceptions. Whereas maxillary molar intrusion is a characteristic feature of the Herbst,this finding has not been reported with the MARA.the dental changes are due mainly to maxillary molar distalization, which accounts for about 77% of the total dental correction, with the remaining 23% due to mesial mandibular molar movement.
  • 123. The most prevalent device used to distalize lower molars was the lip bumper. Next most popular were compressed nickel titanium coil springs, which were usually used in conjunction with some mechanism to control flaring of the anterior teeth.To a much lesser extent, were tip- back auxiliary springs, miniscrews, and Class III elastics. Lower second molars were sometimes extracted prior to distalization of the lower first molars. JOHN J. SHERIDAN 2007 JCO VOLUME XLI NUMBER 8
  • 124. Removable appliances Sagittal Appliance This is a removable appliance with a screw incorporated for the distalization of the first permanent molars (Fig.). The anchorage is gained by the remaining teeth anterior to the first permanent molars. Retention clasps are used to hold the appliance in place. The activation of the screw causes the molars to be pushed distally.
  • 126. Sagittal Appliance The intraoral appliances take anchorage from the palate and the anteriorly placed premolars. By pitting more root surface area and/ or the rugae region of the palate these appliances are able to minimize the proclining effect of the reciprocal forces generated while distalizing the molars. Here also the efficiency of the appliances is more before the eruption of the second permanent molars.

Headgear Therapy to Distalize Molars Four molar bands are placed, the upper molars receive the KGR, and the lower molars via .045 buccal tubes provide attachment for an .022“arch wire supporting sliding hooks via open coil springs. The arch is ligated to the incisors and stopped at the canine area. The coil springs are activated periodically by extending them. ClassIII elastics are worn only when the headgear is worn. Andrew J.

Lower Molar Distalization with the Unilateral Frozat Appliance This article describes an alternative treat- ment, using an asymmetrically activated lingual arch, that allows an intersegmental correction of the malocclusion.

  • 132. Unilateral Frozat Appliance A modification of the Frozat (fixed Crozat) appliance initially developed by Mayes, the unilateral Frozat appliance consists of two molar bands soldered to an .038" Blue Elgiloy* or .040“ stainless steel wire (Fig. 1A). The wire is fabricated on the patient’s setup cast with lingual steps bent mesial to the molars and the distance from the alveolar process kept as constant as possible in the anterior segment. On the anchor side the lingual arch is bent into an occlusal U-loop distal to the solder point on the molar band, then curved around to form the lingual arm of the appliance. Care must be taken to ensure that this arm is in contact with the lingual surfaces of all the anchor teeth, and that the wire segment inserted buccally on these teeth is as rigid and passive as possible. The lingual arm and the segmental archwire combine to form one large, multiroot anchor unit, as described by Bench with regard to the Quad Helix.
  • 133. The unilateral Frozat appliance is activated by using an Aderer three-prong plier to make a 1st order bend on the anchor side of the lingual arch, near the molar band (Fig. 1B). An antirotation bend must then be placed in the lingual arch in the region of the molar to be distalized (Fig.1C). This activation eliminates the risk of any contact between the molar root and the lingual cortical bone, so that the desired distalization takes place in the cancellous bone. Before placing the appliance in the mouth, a distalizing force of about 180-200g should be verified on the cast(Fig. 1D).
  • 134.
  • 135. The appliance must be inserted with caution to preserve the activation and prevent distortion of the bands. We recommend first inserting the molar band on the anchor side and then extending the appliance along the lingual surfaces of the teeth until the molar band on the distalization side can be cemented without difficulty. If necessary, the unilateral Frozat appliance can be extraorally reactivated and recemented at later appointments.

  • 141. Appliance Design : The Franzulum Appliance’s anterior anchorage unit is an acrylic button, positioned lingually and inferiorly to the mandibular anterior teeth, and extending from the mandibular left canine to the mandibular right canine (Fig. 1A). The acrylic should be at least 5mm wide to avoid mucosal trauma and to dissipate the reactive force produced by the distalizing components. Rests on the canines and first premolars are made from .032" stainless steel wire. Tubes between the second premolars and first molars receive the active components.
  • 142. Byloff, Darendeliler, and Stoff JCO/SEPTEMBER 2000
  • 143. The posterior distalizing unit uses nickel titanium coil springs,about 18mm in length, which apply an initial force of 100-120g per side. A J- shaped wire passing through each coil (Fig. 1B) is inserted into the corresponding tube of the anchorage unit (Fig. 1C); the recurved posterior portion of the wire is engaged in the lingual sheath of the mandibular first molar band (Fig. 1D). The anchorage unit is bonded with composite resin to the canines and first premolars. The J-shaped distalizing unit is then ligated to the lingual sheaths of the molar bands, compressing the coil springs. Thus, the active part of the appliance runs lingually at a level close to the center of resistance of the molar, to produce an almost pure bodily movement.

Essix-based molar distalization appliance The laboratory technique The fabrication sequence for the Essix-based molar distalization appliance is described on a demonstration case as follows: - A polyvinyl siloxane or an accurate alginate impression must be taken to encompass the complete dentition and one-third of the alveolus. A working cast is obtained from quality die stone. To increase the efficiency of thermoforming, the long axis of the incisors should be perpendicular to the base of the cast and ideally, the cast should only be about 2 cm high.

Do not cut off the excess plastic around the model (Figure 1). - Place expansion screws (Dentaurum) just mesial to the molars, while the Essix appliance is on the model (Figure 2). - To keep the orthodontic acrylic (to be added to the Essix plastic) minimal in the buccal sections, box out the vestibular aspects with baseplate wax. Apply the orthodontic acrylic only to the lingual side of the appliance (Figure 3).

  • 153. In this systematic review, we discussed the effects of LB treatment. The key question was “what are the effects of the LB on mandibular arch dimensions in adolescents compared with untreated patients?” Our results showed increases in arch dimensions that in- cluded an increase in arch length. This was attributed to incisor proclination, distalization, and distal tipping of the molars. There were also increases in arch width and intercanine and deciduous intermolar or premolar distances. The long-term stability of the effects of the LB need to be elucidated. Hashish and Mostafa(Cairo) American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial OrthopedicsJanuary 2009

Distalizer is a fixed orthodontic appliance used to distalize molars on either the upper or lower arch.Patients and doctors have had good acceptance due to its easy wear and adjustability. Developed by Dr. Peter Ching, this fixed appliance can be used in either unilateral or bilateral configurations and allow doctors to gain up to 1 m of molar distalization per month.

  • 157. Contents: The appliance consists of an anterior segment, banding the first bicuspids, with a Nance button and lingual arch wire to act as anchorage. Vertical tubes are soldered to the buccal surface of the first bicuspid bands. A .036 wire, with a 5 mm tube, is placed on the molar band and then inserted into the vertical tube on the bicuspid band. A small bend is made in the .036 wire, at the gingival, to hold the wire in place. The end is heat-treated for ease of bending.
  • 158. Adjustments: At each patient visit, approximately every three to four weeks, the Gurin lock is loosened and pushed distally to compress the coil spring. When the spring is compressed, the lock is tightened to keep the coil spring activated. Repeat this procedure at each patient visit until the molars are in their desired position.
  • 159. Wilson Lingual Arch 3D Lingual Arch Sophisticated Lingual Arch engineering. Vertical insertion, with a friction lock provides maximum anchorage and permits multiple auxiliary functions not possible with horizontal insertion. Twin vertical posts provide molar control, torque and rotations that are geometrically predictable. The diamond loop design of the 3D Activator has dynamic three dimensional force mechanics and multidirectional movement possibilities with predictable forces. It has a lingual offset to avoid mucosa compression. There are five angles in the activator that can be adjusted slightly to give geometric predictable force vectors. Force is dissipated 100%, resulting in a rapid controlled movement. The resilience of the Activator produces the force. Measurement is from mesial post to mesial post.

TREATMENT PROGRESS The proposed orthodontic treatment involved fixed appliances in both arches, extraction of the mandibular third molars, and the patient’s cooperation using a J-hook headgear. A .022 .028- in standard edgewise appliance was placed. The main objective of the initial mechanics was to use rectangular archwires for the distal movement of the mand with the second molars. A loop in a .019x .026-in archwire was bent flush against the second molar tubes and activated with a high-pull headgear with J-hooks, worn 10 to 12 hours per day, and by hooks soldered mesial to the canines. After alignment and leveling of the maxillary teeth, a .019 .026-in archwire supported Class III elastics and vertical anterior elastics at night.

  • 172. A new archwire, .019X .026-in with closing loops distal to the lateral incisors, was used to retract the mandibular incisors. The directional force mechanics were performed in steps, and the overbite and crossbite were corrected by the counterclockwise rotation of the mandible and distal movement of the teeth. After Class I molar and canine relationships were attained, .215X.275-in coordinated archwires were placed, and vertical right and left elastics were used to finish the occlusion . Active treatment time was 28 months. The teeth were retained with a maxillary removable Hawley appliance and a fixed lingual arch from canine to canine. The 3-year postretention records show the stability of the occlusion, despite the need for continuous mandibular lingual retention.
