[Clinical application of modified distal-jet appliance in distalization of maxillary molar].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical effects of the maxillary molar distalization with modified Distal-Jet appliance.


METHODS
15 patients (average age 12.3 year-old) with maxillary molars shifting mesially were selected as the subjects. Maxillary molars of all patients were distalized with modified Distal-Jet appliance.


RESULTS
All patients achieved good occlusion, normal overjet and overbite with modified Distal-Jet appliance.


CONCLUSIONS
Modified Distal-Jet appliance can distalize maxillary molars effectively.
