Distalizer

Pendulum appliance

A fixed appliance for the distalization and derotation of the upper first molars.

Helical springs of .032 TMA wire are extend from the distal portion of the acrylic button and fit into lingual sheaths on the first molar bands. The springs are preactivated in the laboratory fit into the sheaths, provide a continuous light pressure for the desired molar distalization.
