Enhancement of Orthodontic Anchoring by the Use of Bone Anchorage: A Case Report

Abstract

Orthodontic anchorage is the ability of a tooth or multiple teeth to resist unwanted reactional tooth movements, which could be provided by various means. The use of anchoring screws, or more precisely anchoring mini-screws, has made an enormous contribution to the orthodontist by opening up a new era in the management of severe dento-facial deformities that are uncompromising to conventional treatment and especially the situations of loss of anchorage that we will try to develop through this presentation by illustrating our subject by a treated clinical case.
