title: The Magill Sagittal and Drive Tube.
abstract: The Magill Sagittal and Drive Tube was developed as a result of the demands for more efficient "fixed" functional appliances. Continued pressure on orthodontic laboratories and manufacturers has resulted in the development of various 'fixed' versions of the appliances necessary to accomplish the goals of functional jaw orthopedic therapy. The introduction of 'fixed' functional treatment modalities into the traditional "braces correct everything" USA market has spread rapidly over the past fifteen years. This method has evolved due to the demand by practitioners who want to gain more total control over the patient's treatment.
