Don't Be Afraid, Ive Done This Before: Mini-screws at the Tipping Point

Mini-screws aren't going anywhere! Despite some tipping, anchorage from these devices has enabled orthodontists to substantially improve the efficacy of biomechanics. Although we've reached the "tipping point" in the adoption process, some trepidation remains. How can we reduce the fear factors to push clinicians over the edge? What are some of the best insertion locations, tooth regulation applications and unique auxiliaries for screws? We'll also RAP about some tooth movement acceleration techniques as well.

Learning Objectives:

• Face your fears for mini-screw anesthesia, insertion and loss
• Consider simple auxiliaries and appliances specifically for mini-screws
• Accelerate tooth movement with RAP and mini-screws
