يعد إرجاع الأرحاء العلوية إلى الوحشي إحدى الطرائق المهمة لتأمين مسافات أو لتصحيح علاقة الصنف الثاني السنية في الفك العلوي. ظهر في المدة الأخيرة جهاز Distal Jet بهدف دفع الأرحاء العلوية إلى الوحشي في إطار معالجات سوء الإطباق من الصنف الثاني، و هو عبارة عن جهاز ثابت لا يعتمد على تعاون المريض.
Distalizition of the upper first Molar is a common treatment modality and
very important method to correct Distal Malocclusion, or to create Spaces
in the upper arch.
The Distal Jet has recently been proposed to distalize maxillary molars in
Class II cases with no need for patient cooperation.
