Abstract
In an embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a segmental distalization device that includes an elongate bar having a distal end and a mesial end, a distal base on the distal end of the elongate bar, a mesial base on the mesial end of the elongate bar, and an attachment member attached to at least one of the elongate bar, the distal base, and the mesial base. In some embodiments, the attachment member is operable to connect the segmental distalization device to an anchor via an elastic connector.

A segmental distalization device comprising:
- an elongate bar having a distal end and a mesial end;
- a distal base on the distal end of the elongate bar;
- a mesial base on the mesial end of the elongate bar;
- a plurality of threaded cavities permanently configured into the elongate bar, the distal base, and the mesial base, wherein an attachment member is connected to the elongate bar in one or more of the threaded cavities of at least one of the elongate bar, the distal base, and the mesial base;
- and
- wherein the attachment member is operable to connect the segmental distalization device to an anchor via an elastic connector.
