The document discusses molar distalization, a technique in orthodontics developed in the early 90s, aimed at correcting malocclusions while minimizing the need for tooth extractions. It outlines various appliances, such as the Cetlin and Pendulum appliances, along with their mechanisms, indications, contraindications, advantages, and disadvantages. The evolution of orthodontic practices reflects a shift towards non-extraction protocols, emphasizing patient compliance and biomechanical principles.
