title: [Class II interceptive therapy in the mixed dentition: intra-oral distalization appliances].
abstract: Treatment of Class II malocclusion during the mixed dentition may sometimes require upper molar distalization. To achieve this, many devices have been suggested. The purpose of this article is to classify them and to point out their effects on the dentition and upon skeletal structures.
