INTRODUCTION: The aims of this meta-analysis were to quantify and to compare the
amounts of distalization and anchorage loss of conventional and skeletal anchorage …

Since the end of the 1970s, various appliances with intramaxillary anchorage for
distalization of the upper molars have been described as an alternative to headgear. The …

The skeletal anchorage system (SAS) consists of titanium anchor plates and monocortical
screws that are temporarily placed in either the maxilla or the mandible, or in both, as …

Maxillary molar distalization is an increasingly popular option for the resolution of Class II
malocclusions. This communication describes the effects of one particular molar distalizing …

Introduction: It is now possible to predictably move maxillary molars distally in nongrowing
patients with the skeletal anchorage system (SAS) and to improve malocclusions without …

The aims of the present study were to investigate (1) the efficiency of intraosseous screws for
anchorage in maxillary molar distalization and (2) the sagittal and vertical skeletal, dental …

Introduction: This study compared the dentoalveolar and skeletal effects on Class II
malocclusions of the distal jet with concurrent full fixed appliances and the pendulum …

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the Jones jig appliance on distal
movement of maxillary molars and reciprocal effects on premolars and maxillary incisors …

INTRODUCTION: Conventional anchorage appliances rely exclusively on intraoral
anchorage for noncompliance molar distalization. The partial coverage of the palate, in …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the treatment effects of the first class appliance
(FCA; Leone, Firenze, Italy), a new intraoral device for unilateral or bilateral rapid molar …
