Eruption of second molar
- Eruption stage of second molar impacts distalization of first permanent molar
- Tipping movement occurs when second molar has not erupted
- Treatment duration increases if second molar has already erupted
- Distalization of first molars recommended prior to eruption of second molars
- Some studies suggest no connection between eruption stages of second molar and treatment duration
Indications
- End-on molar relationship
- Mesially angulated upper molars
- Late mixed dentition patient
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Impacted canine or premolar
