Abstract

As an alternative to an orthodontic palatal implant this project evaluated two sagittally in the midline of the palate positioned titanium mini-screws as indirect anchorage elements. Over the whole treatment period no complications were observed. The orthodontic treatment was successfully completed. The measurements of lengths and widths carried out on 3D scanned models confirmed the stability of the molar anchorage reinforced by this kind of modified palatal implant.
