title: A comparative study between lip bumper and headgear as maxillary molar retainers following distalization.
abstract: Abstract: There are many appliances that can be used to correct molar relationship, achieving upper molar distalization, in Class II malocclusion. This research aimed to study the dental effects promoted by lip bumper to retain maxillary molars that had previously been distalized using a Cetlin appliance in conjunction with headgear.
