Miniscrew Implant a Paragon of Anchorage in Contemporary Orthodontics-A Mini-Review

Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are temporarily fixed to the bone to enhance orthodontic anchorage. Miniscrew implant is a temporary anchorage device (TAD) which provides better anchorage than conventional anchorage system. The miniimplants have allowed the management of wider discrepancies because force can be applied directly from the bone-borne anchor unit. Therefore, miniscrew implant enables the orthodontists to treat complex orthodontic cases which require higher anchorage control in three dimensions. The Present review discusses about the indications, contraindications, risk factors and placement protocol of miniscrew implant in routine orthodontic practice. Additionally, the biomechanical considerations and recent advancements are reviewed. Finally, a representative case showing absolute anchorage is also presented.
