Standard Pendulum

The Standard Pendulum Appliance is used primarily for molar distalization in orthodontic treatment. Here are its key features:

Bands on Molars: Bands are securely placed on the molars to provide anchorage for the appliance and ensure stability during treatment.

Occlusal Rests on 1st and 2nd Bicuspids: These rests help distribute the force evenly and prevent unwanted movement of the bicuspids.

Palatal Acrylic: This acrylic component rests on the palate, providing support for the appliance and helping with force distribution.

TMA Springs Lingual of Molars: TMA (Titanium Molybdenum Alloy) springs are positioned lingually on the molars, applying gentle pressure to distalize the molars, moving them back into proper alignment.

This appliance is effective for patients who need to move their molars distally without the need for headgear.
