RapidMolarDistalizer or whatever (prototype)

[Teofil]

Hello
This is an idea how to use RPE screw to distalizie molars.
This idea is by one of professors I am working for at dental college.
This screw is by Leone, only one of it's arms is mobile so it will distalize only one molar as planed. The teeth rings are custom made because he likes it that way
This is the first one I made so we really do not know how it will work on patient's teeth. I will post some before-after photos here as soon as I get them.
I am very lucky to work at college lab so I get to experiment a lot "in vivo"
Here are some pictures...

Cool cast bands! Nice job Teofil. I have a supply of those RPE's. Only had one request for them.

Looks great, what about adding a lingual arch to increase anchorage?

Good idea, I envy your opportunity to work w/a college so closely. Fantastic chance to really get in on the R&D end.

Please keep us posted on the results! Thanks for sharing

Thanks everybody
Lingual arch sounds right, I'll ask the doctor if I can to add it.
