N2 - The limits of an orthodontic treatment are often set by the lack of suitable anchorage. The mini-implant is used where conventional anchorage cannot be applied and not as a replacement for conventional anchorage. In patients with lack of teeth and reduced periodontium, skeletal anchorage allows the optimal positioning of the teeth following rehabilitation. Patients with need for inconsistent tooth movements, borderline surgical cases, can benefit from the use of the mini-implant and regeneration of alveolar process by tooth movement in edentulous molar regions and using mini-implants as anchorage will improve the reconstruction possibilities. The mini-implant has widened the orthodontic possibilities.
