Abstract
The possibility of using the Pendulum in a modular version, with removable arms, springs, arches and other components, makes it a first-choice appliance in the lingual aesthetic treatment of most class II malocclusions. The Pendulum, due to its design characteristics, is an intra-oral fixed and purely lingual device. As a result of this, it has achieved a position of superiority in lingual technique therapy. The use of the Pendulum appliance in its standard form, or with some technical modifications to make it more versatile, has extended its therapeutic use to the field of lingual orthodontics. As in interceptive treatment, it can be seen how the Pendulum successfully achieves its established aim regarding correct molar relationship, while also solving crowding of the incisors thanks to the front area of anchorage (F Pendulum). In adult treatment the F Pendulum is just as valid and appreciated. However, particular care should be taken regarding the biomechanics of distalization in order to avoid the undesirable effects of extrusions and tipping. On the other hand, distalization tends to be mostly bodily. In adult treatment the insertion of superstructures in the acrylic part has made it possible to introduce various techniques such as implant anchorage, distalization of mid-anterior modular areas and alignment and contraction of the incisors. The multi-bracket lingual technique can be used in on-going treatment immediately after molar distalization or in later advanced phases of treatment, where the functions of the Pendulum are extended.
