Objective:
To investigate the clinical effects of the maxillary molar distalization with modified Distal-Jet appliance.
Methods:
15 patients (average age 12.3 year-old) with maxillary molars shifting mesially were selected as the subjects. Maxillary molars of all patients were distalized with modified Distal-Jet appliance.
Results:
All patients achieved good occlusion, normal overjet and overbite with modified Distal-Jet appliance.
Conclusion:
Modified Distal-Jet appliance can distalize maxillary molars effectively.
