| It will be attached to the first premolars or 1° second molars with heavy round wire and a light wire projecting through molar tube, afterwards both wires will be soldered to a fixed attachment sheath and hook. | Used for distalizing an upper molar includes a main support shaft disposed in the arch wire receptacle of a molar tooth bracket. | Used for distalizing an upper molar & made up of mold-injected, nickel-free stainless steel. It is bonded to the canine and first molar. |
| 70-75 gm of force can be delivered through activation of an open coil spring which results in 1 mm of anterior movement and 2.5-2.8 mm of molar distalization. | Slide shaft extending from the main shaft supports a slide collar which is tied via a tensile ligature to the bracket of a 2° tooth, such as a premolar. Compression spring is disposed between the slide collar and the slide shaft and is prevented from buckling by a centrally extending guide pin. The guide pin is attached at one end to the slide collar and the other end passes through a guide tube extending rigidly from the slide shaft. A mesial support ligature extends between the slide collar and an arch wire to prevent inadvertent dislocation of the appliance. | The canine pad, which allows distal movement of the canine along the alveolar ridge without tipping, provides a hook for the attachment of Class II elastics. This pad is the mesial end of an arm that runs posteriorly over the two upper premolars in a slight curve. The posterior end of the arm is a permanently attached ball that articulates in a socket on the molar pad. |
| Mavropoulos A et al., also noted the treatment results with a mean distal movement of 1.4 mm, increased overjet by 0.9 mm and decreased overbite by 1 mm without any significant changes in facial height [5]. | ||
| Disadvantage- it breaks easily under the oral stresses. |
