An improved transpalatal bar design. Part II. Clinical upper molar derotation--case report.
Bilaterally rotated upper first molars (mesial in, distal out) were derotated in two different cases by using a custom-made transpalatal bar. The bars were reactivated, if necessary, at four-week controls. The derotations were fully corrected after about three months.
