Distalizing maxillary first molars is often an objective in treatment plans involving Class II malocclusions and is sometimes indicated for non-extraction treatments for maxillary crowding. Patient compliance has become a factor in choosing effective orthodontic appliances. In recent years, various appliances that do not require patient compliance have been developed to drive maxillary molars distally. Some of these appliances produce unwanted tipping of the maxillary molars and a tendency to create cross-bites if not properly adjusted. While all of them have demonstrated successful molar distalization, they vary in difficulty of fabrication, delivery to the patient and ease of activation following delivery. The fabrication and delivery of the FROG Simplified Molar Distalizer is relatively simple and is very easy to activate from the anterior by simply turning the screw counterclockwise.
