Treatment was started with the extraction of upper wisdoms. Bonding of Carrière Distalizer Appliance for distalization of the upper molars, lower molar bands were cemented on lower first band for attachement of class II elastics and lower Essix appliance for mandibular anchorage. The cephalometric superimposition of pre- and post-distalization used to evaluate the treatment effects of Carrière Distalizer Appliance.
