Mini implant
Your advantages of mini implants:
they extend the treatment options and in some cases even shorten the treatment time
they avoid wearing extraoral devices such as headgear
In the case of individual teeth that are not in place, the gap is closed without having to extract teeth to compensate for this
very targeted and fast tooth movements are made possible, which would not be possible with traditional treatment
For targeted tooth movements
Mini implants (also known as mini screws or mini anchor screws) are used in orthodontics to move teeth in a specific direction.
They serve as a stable attachment point to move the teeth in a targeted manner without exerting pressure on the neighboring teeth.
Only the teeth that need to be moved are moved.
However, these mini implants must be clearly distinguished from dental implants for crowns and bridges at the dentist.
From insertion to removal:
The mini screws are inserted painlessly in a minimally invasive procedure under local anesthesia.
As soon as this is done, the actual orthodontic treatment to correct the teeth begins.
Once this is complete, the mini implants are removed again.
