En masse distal movement of the maxillary dentition with IZC anchorage is routinely practiced nowadays as more patients demand a non-extraction treatment and it should be evaluated. The goal of this study was to assess dentoalveolar and airway changes in individuals with class II malocclusion after en masse distal movement of the maxillary dentition utilizing infrazygomatic anchorage.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n \n This prospective study included patients who required en masse distal movement of the maxillary dentition. Following initial leveling and aligning, mini screws were placed in the IZC region, and the maxillary arch was distalized en-masse. Pre (T0) and post distalization (T1) lateral cephalograms were traced for dentoalveolar and airway changes. Statistical tests were done with SPSS software. Shapiro-Wilk test for normality and paired\n T<\/jats:italic>\n test for comparison between before and after en masse distalization were done.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The changes in dental angular and linear measurements such as U1 to N-A, L1 to N-B and interincisal angle, U1 to N-A and U1 to point A distance, U1 to palatal plane, L1 to N-B, L1 to Apo line distance, U6 to PtV were statistically significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05). Linear parameters such as L1 to ApO line, upper airway, and lower airway were not statistically significant (<0.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Class II div I malocclusions can be efficiently corrected without extractions using IZC anchorage by en masse distal movement of the maxillary dentition. Significant reduction in upper anterior inclination, intrusion of maxillary anterior teeth, and distal movement of the posterior teeth were noted. No changes in airway dimensions were noted.<\/jats:p>\n
