Figure 29. A) Patient with Class II malocclusion, division 2, and overbite, treated with mechanics to distalize the entire maxillary dentition, using mini-implant in the IZC. B) A power arm made of TMA 0,017 x 0,025-in wire, supported by a a longer criss-cross tube, was used to elevate the force above the incisors' Cr. A counterclockwise moment can be observed, which will affect the incisors' torque. In C, a great torque control of the anterior teeth can be seen. D) Resin build-up was performed in the lateral incisor, due to a Bolton discrepancy. E, F) Initial and final lateral teleradiographies.
