In this molar distalizing technique an open NiTi coil, a sliding jig and intermaxilary Class II elastics are combined.
The mechanics of this technique are similar to the mechanics employed in the CEOB-l and on the Wilson distalizer
because they employ NiTi super elastic coils that will produce the distalizing movement. This distalizer will
produce a force between 75 g to 150 g depending upon the amount of compression and the diameter of the coil
and the thickness of the elastic.
In this technique, the open coil and the sliding jig are inserted in the arch wire, the wire must be a round 0.020"
stainless steel or a rectangular 0.017" x 0.025" wire. The coil and the sliding jig must be passive, meaning that
the distance between the distal wing of the canine and the mesial aspect of the molar tube must be the same than that
of coil and the jig occupy. We activate it placing an intermaxillary Class II elastic from the hook of the sliding jig to
the hook of the molar. During mouth aperture, the elastic stretches, the jig slides and the coil is compressed.
