Distal Jet

The Distal Jet appliance is an upper distalizer anchored on an anterior Nance and used bilaterally or unilaterally. Made to your Rx and shipped in 10 business days or faster.

Distalization

Distal Jet

Adjustable coil springs set the activation, and you can change them during treatment for more molar movement. The second bicuspids tend to travel down the alveolar process as the molars distalize. Transverse expansion can be built in on request, and the appliance converts to a Nance-style holder once the molars are in position.

FAQ

Questions about the Distal Jet.

Yes. Use it bilaterally or unilaterally on the upper arch.

Yes. The coil springs are adjustable, and you can swap them for additional molar movement.

The Distal Jet takes anchorage from an anterior Nance. The Horseshoe Jet uses two anterior TADs, so there's no dental or palatal vault support to lose anchorage against.

Yes. We build transverse expansion into the appliance on request.
