CLASS II MOLAR CORRECTION BY MAXILLARY MOLAR DISTALIZATION WITH AN IMPLANT SUPPORTED SLIDING JIG- A CASE REPOR
Abstract
19-year female presented with skeletal Class I jaw base with bilateral Class II molar relationship with crowded both arches and incisors upright over basal bone. Distalization was planned in upper arch to correct Class II molar relation and upper crowding. Implant supported sliding jig was used to distalized upper molars. Molars were distalized by 5 mm in a span of 4 months. Post treatment Class I molar relationship was achieved bilaterally and incisor proclination reduced. Post treatment cephalogram showed minimal changes in the vertical dimension of face at the end of treatment. The total treatment ended in 19 months.
