ABSTRACT:
An orthodontic appliance for treating the maxillary molars, and which includes a cervical extra oral headgear, is provided. The appliance applies a pulsating force to the molars being treated, rather than a continuous force as is the case with the prior art devices. The invention is predicated on the concept that the pulsational effect of the tooth on the adjacent periodontal membrane and bone tends to loosen their fibrous structure, and helps the tooth to find the path of least resistance through the bone. The pulsating force in the appliance of the present invention is provided by a resilient elastic pad which is mounted on the oclusal surface of one of the maxillary molars, and which forces a liquid into a reservoir mounted on the headgear so as to produce an intermittent pulsation in the pressure delivered by the headgear to the molars being treated.
