Abstract

The miniimplants are small devices of 1,2 mm of wide and 6 mm of length. Manufactured with a smooth
machined surface that is not designed to osseointegrate. In orthodontics they are used as temporary anchorage
for molar distalization, protraction and intrusion of molars and incisors. Also for closing wide edentulous spaces
once considered impossible with conventional orthodontics.. The miniimplants are easily removed. As with any
new technique clinicians should be aware in which cases use this devices and the sites of placing them.
