Distalization & Space Regaining

Distal Jet

Molar distalization without headgear compliance, and without hardware in the smile.

3D bands available

Printed bands. Same appliance.

Send a scan instead of impressions and the bands are laser sintered to fit from the file, with the rest of the appliance built as usual. No separators, no band-fitting appointment, and the bands seat first time.

Send us a case

Scan or impressions, a bite where the design needs one, and a signed prescription. If anything on the Rx is left open, a technician calls your practice before the case is started.

Download the Rx form or call 866-437-4361.

Bilateral tubes run from a Nance button to the molar bands; a coil spring and lock on each tube pushes the molars distally. Once the molars are where you want them the lock is set and the appliance becomes the holding arch.

Tell us the activation you want and which teeth carry the anchorage. Premolar bands or bonded rests are both fine.

Commonly prescribed for

  • Class II molar correction without headgear
