A REVIEW ON MOLAR DISTALIZATION IN ORTHODONTICS

Abstract :

The distalization of molars is of significant value for treatment of cases with minimal arch discrepancy & mild class II molar relationship associated with a normal mandibular arch & acceptable profile. A variety of treatment modalities includes those that are heavily dependent on patient compliance to noncompliance such as extraoral traction, removable appliances, fixed intra & intermaxillary. Advances in mechanotherapy and changes in treatment concepts has been made possible by better understanding of tooth movement,bone physiology,biomechanics and newer biomaterials. . Refinement of appliances has concentrated mainly on achieving bodily movement of the molar rather than tipping. An increase in implant usage for distalization is appreciated and have ushered a better orthodontic treatment. The need of the hour is an appliance which embodies the advantages of the intraoral, extraoral methods and eliminates the disadvantages of both. Further researches are necessary before coming to a final stand on the issue.
