Miniimplant recently became a way of orthodontic treatment. Compared to the other implants, miniimplants are relatively small, allowing them to be placed between the dental roots in various areas of the jaws and serve as skeletal anchorage for orthodontic tooth movements. The use of miniimplants for orthodontic skeletal anchorage may be an predictable and accurate alternative without requiring patient compliance, compared with conventional versions of anchorage. The paper presents a series of clinical cases seen and treated within the dental office of S.C. RANDI SRL and in the Department of Orthodontics at New York University College of Dentistry.
