Abstract

This article describes the use of a computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) 3D metal printed adjunctive orthodontic appliance that can be used with palatal miniscrews for molar distalization. CAD/CAM technology was used to fabricate a customized framework for bone-anchored pendulum appliance effectively based on the patient's palatal contour, location, and the number of implants to be placed.
