after extraction or loss of a first molar, the second molar may tip mesially into the edentulous space. Not only will the first-molar space contract mesiodistally, but eccentric occlusal loading will reduce the biomechanical loading capacity of the second molar. Such a situation requires preprosthetic up righting of the second molar using appropriate mechanics. Simply tipping the molar distally...

JCO/FEBRUARY 2003 O movements such as anterior retraction and intrusion of overerupted teeth are difficult to achieve without undesirable reciprocal movements of the anchorage units.1-3 Titanium miniscrews not only provide nondental anchorage, but they are inexpensive, small, simple to place, immediately loadable, and well tolerated by patients.4-9 This article describes a new titanium miniscre...

I molar-distalization appliances that require little or no patient compliance—including the Pendulum, Distal Jet, and sliding jigs1-3— have been developed as alternatives to headgear. To avoid the anchorage loss that often occurs with these devices, skeletal anchorage has increasingly been employed,4-6 leading to the introduction of new systems. This article introduces the EZ Slider* sliding au...

In orthodontics, anchorage is a prerequisite for the application of therapeutic forces and can limit their successful use. According to the intended treatment goals, desired tooth movements should, therefore, be maximized and undesirable effects minimized. But additional anchorage such as extraand intraoral forces are visible and hence compliance dependent and are associated with the risk of un...

In prosthetic dentistry the quality of life patients with tooth loss have been significantly enhanced use dental implants likewise in Orthodontics mini has instrumental expanding envelope treatment possibility. The incorporation into orthodontic planning allowed for predictable anchorage control and increased ability to correct severe skeletal discrepancies. Despite great interest Mini Implants...

Temporary Anchorage Devices have been the only means of providing absolute anchorage but complications causing soft and hard tissue damage requires well-formed cortical bone. Also, they are unable to tolerate torsional forces moments. For this reason, miniplates had come up with advantage more surface area difficult place as require flap surgery also removal post treatment. CTOR plates revoluti...
