An orthodontic pendulum appliance is typically used to correct Class II malocclusions by moving the upper molars backward. Patients can expect gradual adjustments in their bite and teeth positioning over time. The appliance is generally fixed and requires regular visits to the orthodontist for monitoring and adjustments. While it may cause some initial discomfort or difficulty with chewing, it is designed to be effective and help achieve a balanced dental alignment.
