The skeletal malocclusion Class I also known as neutrocllusion occurs when the maxilla and mandible are in harmony with each other, Class II which is also known as distoocclusion occurs when the mandible is distally positioned in relation to maxilla and is further divided into two sub divisions and Class III which is also known as mesioocclusion occurs when mandible is mesially positioned in relation to maxilla.

COMPARISON OF JONES JIG AND DISTAL JET MOLAR DISTALIZING APPLIANCES

As the first permanent molars drift mesially after premature loss of primary molars, they exert a greater force on the anterior segment (incisors and primary canines) subsequently causing a horizon- tal overlap leading to dental crowding.27 The higher incisor crowding in the study population than in other population might be due to the high prevalence of dental caries among Saudi children.36 As the arch length decreases due to anterior and/or posterior car- ies lesions, the prevalence of anterior crowding be- comes higher.
