Abstract

Molar distalization has been a validated method to correct dental sagittal relationships and create space to relieve mild to moderate crowding. numerous orthodontic devices have been developed to achieve this type of orthodontic tooth movement. In this lecture, several cases will be presented to discuss several atypical designs of "molar distalizers".
