Class II Correction with Microimplant Supported Molar Distalization: A Report of Two Cases by Zouhair Skaf, Fidèle Nabbout

“…Open coil springs were inserted in the upper archwire on both sides and compressed via a steel ligature on sliding hooks to the microimplants pushing distally simultaneously the first and second maxillary molars. En-masse retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth was then carried out on a 0.019”×0.025” stainless steel closing loop archwire while the posterior segment was anchored to the microimplant with a steel ligature to the first premolar. …”
