To limit extractions and to turn difficult Class II cases into simpler Class I cases is a dream come
true for you and your patients. With its sleek, aesthetic and non-invasive design, the Carriere
Distalizer Class II Correction Appliance provides greater comfort and shortens treatment time by
up to four months. Delivering a natural, gentle and uniform force for distal molar movement with
controlled rotation and tipping correction before brackets or other appliances are placed, the
Carriere Distalizer Appliance solves complex problems almost effortlessly.
The Carriere Distalizer is a direct bond appliance that attaches to the maxillary canine and
first permanent molar, providing a simple procedure for turning complex Class II cases into a
Class I platform. Once a Class I condition is achieved, malocclusions become easier to treat
and can be finished with your preferred orthodontic technique. Since there are no competing
forces in the mouth when using this appliance, average Class II correction can usually be
achieved in just three to four months.
Eliminates wire changes and the distorting collateral
forces that appear with every wire activation used in
traditional methods.

How it Works.
• Corrects the posterior occlusion to an ideal Class I
platform first by rotating and uprighting the maxillary
first molars while distalizing the posterior segment,
from canine or premolor to molars, into a perfect
occlusion.
• Simultaneously produces a light, uniform force for
distal molar movement.
• Independently moves each posterior segment, from
canine or premolar to molar, as a unit.
• Used at the beginning of treatment when there are no
competing forces in the mouth allows the distalization
of the molars and premolars from 3 to 6mm range,
on average.
Indications.
• Most effective in treating Class II symmetrical and
asymmetrical malocclusions without the need for
extractions.
• May also be used in many Class I cases with mesially
positioned maxillary molars.
• Growing patients are ideal, but adults may be treated
as well.
• Mixed dentition Class II cases with fully erupted molars
are candidates for Phase 1 treatment to establish a
Class I platform.
