Abstract

In an effort to deal with the compliance issue required of most systems developed for Class II correction, a number of noncompliance appliances have been developed. This chapter focuses on the fabrication, delivery, and use of the TSAD-supported Simplified Molar Distalizer or Frog appliance. Case selection is discussed and two examples of treated cases are presented. The TSAD-supported Frog appliance is an excellent appliance for correcting Class II molars and/or for opening space in the maxillary arch to alleviate a maxillary arch length discrepancy.
