Based on our literature search, we found that the use of miniplate anchorage with Forsus fatigue-resistance device (FRD) has not yet been reported. Therefore, the aim of the present case report was to present the treatment of a patient with skeletal Class II malocclusion with mandibular retrusion using Forsus FRD with miniplate anchorage. Fixed appliances with 0.022-inch slots were attached to ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the anchorage effects of the implants and the headgear for patients with anterior teeth retraction in terms of incisor retraction, anchorage loss, inclination of maxillary incisors, positional change of maxillary basal bone, and treatment duration. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search for relative randomized controlled trials (RCTs) prospective and retrospective con...

objective: attempts to treat class ii malocclusions without extraction in non-compliant patients have led to utilization of intraoral molar distalizing appliances. the purpose of this study was to investigate dental and skeletal effects of bonded molar distalizer (bmd) which is a simple molar distalizing appliance. materials and methods: sixteen patients (12 girls, four boys) with bilateral hal...

In routine orthodontics practice anchorage is a critical factors that determining the success of an orthodontic treatment. For many years’ has been strenuous factor. Many modalities have tried for preventing loss by using extra oral and intraoral devices according to various scientific literature, yet orthodontists did not find any convenient solutions solve this problem until mini- implants we...

A standard skeletal traction technique was applied to each major segment of the appendicular skeleton of ten fresh dog cadavers. Opposition points and anchorage points for the application of traction were determined for each skeletal segment. Traction was exerted by means of a micrometric traction stand, connected to the limb by bands or a stirrup. Traction was applied to the antebrachium and t...

Objective. To compare the amounts of anchorage loss in the upper first molar (U6) and of retraction of the upper central incisor (U1) in cases with Class I malocclusion between orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs) and conventional anchorage reinforcements (CARs). Methods. The subjects were 40 female adult patients with Class I malocclusion who were treated with extraction of the first premolars and...
