Popis: An asymmetrically activated lingual arch appliance enables rapid, unilateral molar distalization in the mandible without active patient compliance. Using the segmented arch technique, the biomechanics involve only the tooth moved, in accordance with the 2-tooth concept, with a large, multi-rooted tooth segment acting as an anchoring unit. The anchorage system requires no maxillary involvement.
