Abstract

Correction of class II molars in growing patients with acceptable facial profile can be performed through distalization of maxillary first molars.Correction of class II malocclusion without extractions requires maxillary molar distalization by means of intraoral or extraoral forces. One of the major drawbacks of extraoral appliance is the dependability on patient cooperation. The intraoral molar distalization method has been an excellent option for patients who are unwilling to wear a headgear. This current review article discusses about role of Molar distalization in orthodontics
