Abstract: Clear aligners have significant advantages in maxillary molar distalization. However, due to various factors such as different maxillary anatomical structure types and patient compliance, the actual distal movement of upper molar is inconsistent with design. It affects orthodontic treatment outcome. This article reviews basic characteristics of patients, difference in anatomical structures of maxillary molars and treatment design to provide a reference to upper molar distalization design for orthodontists, so as to improve movement efficiency.

Key words: clear aligner, maxillary molar distalization, influencing factor, efficiency of movement
