Mini-implants are one of the latest successful technologies introduced and widely used in orthodontic treatment, as a reinforcement of anchorage. Same concepts adopted to treat different types of malocclusions in the past are still used, but with the raise of mini-implants era, the mechanical considerations of these traditional strategies need to be revisited. Nevertheless, ignorance of the entire mechanical effects that result from usage of mini-implants might cause undesirable outcomes which can complicate the orthodontic treatment. In this lecture, we will show how mini-implants can facilitate our orthodontic treatment, highlighting at the same time the failure of these techniques in some circumstances.
Learning Objectives:
Compare the treatment of malocclusions between the traditional orthodontic methods versus systems that include mechanics based on mini-implants.
Manage the side effects that can result from uncontrolled mechanics of usage of miniscrews.
Identify the different factors that may contribute to the failure of mini-implants.
