Abstract
Esthetics plays a major role from orthodontic treatment to results. Gaining space in dental arch is the most important step in the treatment planning which can be achieved by different methods one of which is molar distalisation. There are a number of methods (Arch expansion, interproximal reduction, proclination of teeth, molar derotation, use of functional appliances) to gain space. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages and specific indications. A child with class I bases and acceptable profile, with minimal space requirements for relief of crowding or mild protrusion can possibly be best treated without sacrifice of tooth material. Various intaoral and extraoral appliances have been invented using non-extraction treatment to distalise molars. Aim of distalization is to move molars distally so as to gain space. This article provides a comprehensive review of the various methods (intraoral & extraoral) used for molar distalization.
