ABSTRACT

Treatment of Class II malocclusions, without extractions, frequently requires distalization of maxillary molars into a Class I relationship by means of extra-oral or intraoral forces.

The most conventional method for distalizing the maxillary molars involves use of cervical headgear but the success of the treatment depends heavily on patient cooperation. Several intraoral appliances have been used to distalize the maxillary molars in Class II patients without the patient’s cooperation; these include nickel-titanium spring, magnet distal jet, first class, Jones jig, pendulum, and Keles slider appliances.
