Abstract :
The torque of posterior teeth is of great importance in esthetics and occlusion. In the present article,
we introduce a simple but useful device to measure intermolar torque. The device consists of two
movable and adjustable arms that lie on the selected molar teeth bilaterally; the graduated plane at the
body of the appliance then shows the intermolar torque. This device can measure intermolar torque
easily and rapidly, with high validity and at a low cost.
