ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for the distal movement of the molars, bicuspids and canines. A palate plate (10) is molded to the palate and attached to the teeth. The appliance also includes molar band attachments (16) that are attached to the palate plate by a spring-loaded wire (12). The spring (13) creates a distal force on the molars. The bicuspids are securely attached to the palate molar, therefore creating a distal movement of only the molars. Once the distal movement of the molars is complete, the bicuspids are detached from the palate plate (10) allowing for bicuspid distal movement.
