Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Dental Biomaterials

Background:

  • Limited research exists on appliances for unilateral Class II malocclusions.
  • Asymmetrical molar relationships present unique treatment challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of the Keles Slider appliance for unilateral molar distalization.
  • To assess treatment outcomes in patients with unilateral Class II molar relationships.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Keles Slider appliance without a bite plane in 17 patients.
  • Monthly follow-ups with reactivation every two months.
  • Lateral cephalometric radiographs taken pre- and post-treatment.

Main Results:

  • Successful bodily distalization of maxillary first molars by an average of 2.85 mm.

  • Maxillary first premolars showed bodily forward movement (2 mm) and extrusion (2.03 mm).
  • Observed minor changes in incisor position and mandibular molar/incisor eruption.

    • Conclusions:

    • The unilateral Keles Slider is effective in achieving a Class I molar relationship.
    • The appliance provides a viable treatment option for unilateral Class II malocclusions.
