Abstract

During the orthodontic treatment anchorage control is the most important factor of successful treatment.
Micro-implants are new stationary anchorage; they are osseointegrated implants, implanted in the jaw of the
patients. Skeletal anchorage system allows direct connection between screw-implant and target teeth that we need to
correct orthodontically; provides absolute anchorage and adequate tooth movement. Orthodontic treatment, using a
skeletal anchorage system, is not only effective, but it also offers a variety of treatment alternatives in challenging
cases where traditional mechanics cannot be used.
The orthodontic treatment with micro-implants is independent of patient’s cooperation; it takes shorter time;
enables harmonious occlusion and gives functional and aesthetic individual optimum.
Keywords: skeletal anchorage system, micro-implants, micro-screw, temporary anchorage device
