Description
Distalization of maxillary molars is a viable option for the correction of class II malocclusion. This presentation will include temporary anchorage devices using buccal and palatal micro-implants as well as micro-implant supported conventional appliances like Distal Jet and pendulum for the distalization of molars using the concept of absolute anchorage.
Learning Objectives:
- Analyze non-compliance maxillary molar distalization techniques including buccal and palatal micro-implants, using the concept of absolute anchorage.
- Recognize Insertion sites, placement technique and anchorage/force application of micro-implants for upper molar distalization, retraction of pre-molars, canines and incisors.
- Evaluate strategies to combat side effects, post-distalization mechanics and finishing the occlusion after molar distalization.
