The aim - of the work is to evaluate the effectiveness of the orthodontic device proposed by the authors, which can be used to lengthen the dentition of both the lower and upper jaw and to free up space for eruption of permanent teeth in case of its deficiency. Materials and methods. The device was tested in 10 patients aged 10-12 years with the diagnosis "mesial migration of permanent molars as a result of early loss of temporary teeth, lack of space for eruption of permanent premolar sand canines" on the basis of the children's dental department of the dental polyclinic of the FSBEI HE KubSMU of the Ministry of Health of Russia. Results. After 6 months of treatment on the device for molar distalization, the lack of space for teeth 3.5 and 4.3 was eliminated, which allowed us to proceed to the second stage – fixing the bracket system to achieve the final result. Conclusion. Many disadvantages of removable devices are minimized, since no cooperation with the patient is required, the period of habituation is accelerated, the period of active treatment is reduced, and the number of breakdowns and losses is reduced. And most importantly, these devices help to shorten the period of active treatment with the help of a bracket system.
