Molar distalization is an effective treatment modality in orthodontic treatment. However, preserving molar anchorage after distalization is a difficult task faced by the orthodontist since long. Through this article we will be presenting an innovative technique to hold the distalized position of molars using mini implants. This simple but effective method has proved to be useful to hold the distalized position of molars. Keywords: Distalization; mini implants
