Abstract

Distalization appliances supported by temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) have been proposed. In this chapter, we have introduced the modified palatal anchorage plate (MPAP) appliance for maxillary arch distalization, its clinical relevance, indications, complications, and treatment outcome. The quality and the quantity of the paramedian palatal bony structure can mechanically support several mini-implants in both adults and adolescents. The design of the palatal plate has been modified for easier and more accurate placement and less inflammation to the tissues. Clinically successful distalization was achieved in 11.6 ± 4.3 months. The maxillary first molar showed 3.70 mm of distalization, 3.29° of distal tipping, and 2.40 mm of intrusion. Therefore, the palatal plate might be recommended for maxillary molar distalization in adults and adolescents.
