title: An appliance for molar distalizatoin with intramandibular stabilization, applied after teeth extraction.
abstract: The extraoral appliance which is used for the treatment of patients after teeth extraction causes problems when there is lack of cooperation on the part of the patient. The appliance we present here consists of fabricated rings with brackets for the molars, lingual semicannulas, an outer arch, a lingual arch with a palatine button. The appliance distalizes the teeth by the action of NiTi coils placed lingually and vestibularly between the teeth to be distalized. The palatine button, situated behind the frontal teeth, ensures stability of the apparatus. The practical application of the appliance showed good clinical results, which allows us to recommend it in the practice as a method of choice.
