Class II Correction with Microimplant Supported Molar Distalization: A Report of Two Cases

Figure 2

(a) An open coil is activated via a steel ligature from the microimplant to a sliding hook. Care should be taken to select the length of the coil equal to the distance distal canine bracket-mesial first molar tube so that in case of failure of the microimplant no anterior anchorage loss will occur. (b) Open coil is compressed against the molars pushing them distally.
