Home / Appliances / Distalization / Horseshoe Jet Horseshoe Jet
The Horseshoe Jet is a streamlined upper molar distalizer anchored on two anterior TADs, so there's no dental or palatal vault support to lose anchorage against.
Distalization Horseshoe Jet It works like our Distal Jet, with forces applied closer to the molars' center of resistance. The streamlined design is more comfortable for the patient. Once activation is complete, you lock it and use it as a Nance holding appliance.

When it’s the right call.
Use it when
Distalization where premolar anchorage loss is a concern
Adults needing upper molar distalization
Cases where you've planned palatal miniscrew placement
Class II molar correction without headgear or elastics
Consider another appliance when
You'd rather anchor on the premolars than place miniscrews See Distal Jet
The arch also needs expansion while the molars move See Pendex

Questions about the Horseshoe Jet.
How is the Horseshoe Jet anchored?
On two anterior TADs. That pure skeletal anchorage removes dental and palatal vault support, and the anchorage loss that comes with it.
Horseshoe Jet vs Distal Jet: which should I prescribe?
They work the same way. The Horseshoe Jet swaps the Distal Jet's Nance anchorage for two anterior TADs and a more streamlined design.
What happens after distalization?
Lock the appliance and keep it in as a Nance holding appliance.
Can the Horseshoe Jet be 3D printed?
Yes, and it's also available with OnBRACE® on the molars. Note OnBRACE® on the Rx.
