Fixed Appliances

Distalization

Distalization is an orthodontic technique used to move molars backward (distally) to create space in the arch and correct malocclusions, particularly Class II. These appliances provide a biomechanically controlled approach, combining translation and anchorage to optimize outcomes.

Precise Molar Movement: Utilizes controlled forces to move molars distally, correcting Class II malocclusions without extractions.
Simultaneous Arch Development: Many appliances expand the arch while distalizing molars, improving overall alignment.
Customized, Phase-Based Treatment: Appliances are designed for specific phases, from initial expansion to precise distalization.

Distal Jet

The Distal Jet is constructed around a highly efficient piston, and tube principle, coupled with a controlled and defined force delivery.

What does Distalization solve?

Distalization addresses Class II malocclusions and dental crowding by moving molars backward and developing the arch, preparing the mouth for comprehensive orthodontic treatment.

Corrects Class II Malocclusions: Moves upper or lower molars distally to improve bite alignment and create space.
Promotes Efficient Arch Expansion: Simultaneously expands the arch while distalizing molars, enhancing both function and aesthetics.
Reduces Need for Extractions: Creates necessary space in the dental arch without the need for removing teeth, preserving natural dentition.

Tip: Keep up with your dental check-ups and oral hygiene to ensure precise molar movement and a smooth treatment process!

FAQ

We’re here to answer all of your questions

What is the primary purpose of distalization in orthodontics?

Distalization is primarily used to move molars backward to correct Class II malocclusions and create space in the dental arch, reducing the need for extractions.

How long does treatment with distalization appliances typically take?

The duration of treatment varies depending on the individual case, but it generally ranges from 6 months to a year. Treatment time depends on the severity of the malocclusion and the patient’s response to the appliance.

Are distalization appliances comfortable for patients to wear?

Most distalization appliances are designed for patient comfort with smooth materials and tailored fits. There may be an initial adjustment period, but discomfort is typically minimal and temporary.

Can distalization be combined with other orthodontic treatments?

Yes, distalization is often used in conjunction with other orthodontic treatments like braces or clear aligners to achieve comprehensive results and improve overall alignment.

What are the benefits of using distalization appliances over traditional methods?

Distalization appliances provide a less invasive alternative to tooth extractions and offer precise control over molar movement, enhancing treatment outcomes and preserving natural tooth structure.

How are distalization appliances maintained during treatment?

Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments. Patients should maintain good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, to keep the appliances clean and effective.
