Abstract
Space gaining in orthodontics is an important step for correction of various malocclusions. There are various methods used for gaining space such as extractions, proximal stripping, expansion and molar distalization etc. Molar distaliztion is method in which posterior teeth are moved in distal direction. Varieties of intra oral and extra oral appliances are used to move teeth distally in the arch. Intraoral appliances gain more popularity due to their advantages over extra oral appliances; the most important is their non-dependence on patients. In this article we will discuss about intra oral appliance that is Distal Jet appliance and its modifications.
