Orthodontic anchorage (mini-implant)
“Micro-screws” or “mini-implants” can be used at times in order to offer patients new alternatives and treatment options when conventional treatment is not a valid option. This treatment option may render the treatment quicker, more efficient and comfortable, at times avoiding more invasive and expensive surgery such as jaw surgery and/or replacement of teeth.
Use of “micro-screws” can allow in certain cases to close spaces for missing teeth or for teeth that have been extracted, which may avoid necessitating tooth replacement after orthodontic treatment.
