Abstract: An orthodontic device for the segmental distalization of a posterior jawbone area is disclosed. The orthodontic device comprises a mesial element having a mesial base surface for attachment to a premolar or a canine, a projection for coupling with a traction element, and an arm comprising an elongate transverse pin at a distal end of the arm, and a distal base having a distal base surface configured for attachment to a molar, and a receptacle for receiving the transverse pin. A first axis is defined as being substantially perpendicular to the distal base surface, and the transverse pin has a mesial surface and a distal surface, an interior shape of the receptacle is such that the rotation about the first axis is limited by the mesial and/or distal surface touching against an inside of the receptacle. The disclosure also relates to orthodontic kits.

Abstract: A distalizer including a mesial element and a distal element, and an arm connecting the distal element with the mesial element. The arm includes a ball member at one end and the distal element includes a receptacle for receiving the ball member. A method includes providing the distal element with an opening into the receptacle that is large enough to introduce the ball member substantially without deformation, introducing the ball member into the receptacle, and reducing the opening of the receptacle.

Abstract: Method of assembling a distalizer comprising a mesial element and a distal element, and an arm connecting the distal element with the mesial element, the arm comprising a ball member at one end of the arm and the distal element comprising a receptacle for receiving said ball member, the method comprising providing the distal element with an opening of the receptacle that is large enough to introduce the ball member substantially without deformation, providing the arm with the ball member, introducing the ball member into the receptacle, and reducing the opening of the receptacle. The disclosure further relates to a distalizer obtainable by such a method.

Abstract: Orthodontic devices for segmental distalization in a patient are provided. The orthodontic device includes an elongated central arm; a distal part comprising a distal base surface adapted for attachment to a lingual surface of a molar, wherein the distal part is located at a distal end of the central arm. The device also includes a mesial part comprising a mesial base surface adapted for attachment to a lingual surface of a premolar, wherein the mesial part is located at a mesial end of the central arm. The mesial part and/or distal part comprising a first retention element for retention of a first end of an elastic element. The central arm is shaped to substantially follow a lingual side of a set of teeth. The present disclosure further relates to orthodontic kits and to methods for mounting orthodontic devices and to methods for treatment of malocclusions.
