Can an intraosseous screw effectively distalize a unilateral upper molar without significant anchorage loss?

The intraosseous screw was successful in achieving unilateral molar distalization without major anchorage loss.

The distalization time to achieve an overcorrected Class I molar relationship was 3.6 months.
There was no change in overjet, overbite, or mandibular plane angle measurements.
Mild protrusion of the upper left central incisor was recorded.

Doctors used a special screw to move a tooth back in a kid's mouth without taking out any teeth, and it worked well.

An intraosseous screw was placed to distalize the left upper first and second molar in a 13-year-old male patient.

The study involved only one patient, limiting generalizability.

A 13-year-old male with an impacted premolar.
