Abstract
In this case report, a non- compliant method of molar distalization has been described. The molar thruster appliance has been modified to provide a more bodily movement of the molar distally. This method has been a more effective and efficient method of space gaining. A report on a 25-year-old male patient who was treated with unilateral molar distalization has been described. However, more high quality studies are required to study its long term stability.
Keywords: molar distalization, modified molar thruster appliance.
