dc.description.abstractClass II malocclusions, characterized by the mesial positioning of the maxillary molars relative to the mandibular molars, are among the most frequently encountered orthodontic issues. One of the widely adopted non-extraction approaches for addressing this malocclusion is maxillary molar distalization, which has been utilized for decades to create space within the dental arch. Historically, extraoral appliances such as headgear were commonly employed. However, with technological advancements, intraoral distalization devices, particularly those incorporating temporary anchorage devices (TADs), have gained prominence due to their compact size, not being visible externally, and improved patient acceptance. These appliances offer significant advantages, including being less invasive compared with extraction-based camouflage treatments, being more readily accepted by patients due to the absence of extraction spaces, and not requiring the complex biomechanical principles involved in extraction-based methods. TADs have revolutionized distalization techniques by providing superior anchorage control, reducing treatment duration, and offering a straightforward, patient-friendly application. The purpose of this comprehensive narrative review is to focus specifically on intraoral distalization techniques utilizing TADs, summarizing their efficacy and outcomes in the management of Class II malocclusions as reported in clinical studies over the past three decades.
