The Handbook of Molar Distalization

Numerous techniques are available for the purpose of molar distalization, appropriate case selection, appliance fabrication and thorough understanding of biomechanics involved can help to achieve the desire treatment result.Traditionally, the arch length deficiency has been calculated anterior to the first molar because molar distalization was assumed to be nearly impossible. However by using the space posterior to the second molar 14 permanent teeth can be well aligned in alveolar bone.
