Abstract :

Preserving the position of distalized maxillary molars is essential to prevent relapse and ensure treatment efficiency. The Accudeter is a reactivatable anchorage device designed to maintain molar distalization without interfering with fixed orthodontic appliances. Constructed from a 21-gauge stainless steel wire, expansion screw, and acrylic base, it provides stable retention by engaging the lingual sheaths of molars. Its integrated screw allows for controlled reactivation when needed. Accudeter offers a non-invasive, chairside-fabricated solution for anchorage control, reducing treatment complexity and duration.
