Abstract
Anchorage control is crucial for achieving optimal results in orthodontic treatment. Scientific literature has documented the exploration of various methods to prevent anchorage loss, including the use of extraoral and intraoral devices. The advent of mini implants and micro implants has introduced new possibilities by allowing placement in previously inaccessible areas. These implants, also known as Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs), significantly reduce the effort required to maintain anchorage. They are a reliable anchorage for orthodontic treatments because of their small size, ease of insertion and removal, and immediate force loading upon placement. For individuals who are uncooperative or who have periodontal disease and alveolar bone loss, mini implants provide a stable substitute for anchorage during orthodontic therapy. Studies emphasize the importance of implant length and type in determining stability and success rates. Longer implants tend to increase stability, and self-drilling designs generally offer superior anchorage compared to self-tapping variants. Furthermore, titanium implants demonstrate higher success rates than stainless steel implants, highlighting their suitability for orthodontic applications.
