Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Esthetics plays a major role from orthodontic treatment to results Gaining space in dental arch is the most important step in the treatment planning which can be achieved by different methods one of which is molar distalisation To distalise molars in upper arch using nonextraction treatment various appliances have been invented The first attempt for this technique was the use of headgear appliance but this needed patient compliance and was esthetically unpleasing Thus various intraoral devices were introduced for molar distalisationKeywords Disitilisation Pendulum appliance Anchorage
