Maxillary molar distalization with aligners in adult patients: a multicenter retrospective study

Maxillary molar distalization with aligners in adult patients: a multicenter retrospective study

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that bodily maxillary molar distalization was not achievable in aligner orthodontics. METHODS Forty lateral cephalograms obtained from 20 non-growing subjects (9 male, 11 female; average age 29.73 years) (group S), who underwent bilateral distalization of their maxillary dentition with Invisalign aligners (Align Technology, In...

Maxillary unilateral molar distalization with sliding mechanics: a preliminary investigation.

Fifteen patients, eight males and seven females with a mean age of 13.32 years, were selected for unilateral molar distalization. Dentally, all presented with a unilateral Class II molar relationship. The subjects were all in the permanent dentition with second molars erupted and with a well aligned lower dental arch. For maxillary molar distalization a new intra-oral appliance was developed, t...

Maxillary molar distalization with the dual-force distalizer supported by mini-implants: a clinical study.

INTRODUCTION The objective of this prospective study was to describe the clinical effects of a bone-supported molar distalizing appliance, the dual-force distalizer. METHODS The study group included 16 patients (mean age, 14.3 years) with Class II molar relationships. Study models and lateral cephalograms were taken before and after the distalizing movement to record significant dental and sk...
