MICROIMPLANTS

They provide the orthodontist with a stable point to which controlled force can be applied, without relying on other teeth for support. This allows more precise tooth movement and a more predictable treatment plan.

What are micro implants and why are they used?

A micro implant is a temporary orthodontic implant placed in the bone for a certain period of time, serving as an anchor for an orthodontic appliance. Its purpose is to minimize unwanted movement of other teeth and help guide corrections more accurately.

This solution is especially useful when more stable force control is needed and when standard anchorage methods, such as elastics or additional bracket system components, do not provide sufficient predictability.

When are micro implants used?

Micro implants are used in various situations where the orthodontist needs skeletal anchorage to move teeth. This may be necessary in complex alignment cases, corrections in limited space, or when planning movements that would otherwise require larger additional appliances.

In practice, micro implants can be used both in teenagers and adults, when the treatment plan requires it and when the specialist determines that this method can provide better control and efficiency.

How is a micro implant placed?

The placement procedure is short and is usually completed within a single visit. Local anesthesia is typically used, and the actual placement takes only a short amount of time.

After positioning, the micro implant begins to function as anchorage within the orthodontic plan. The orthodontist connects it to the appliance according to the required tooth movements. The important point is that the solution is planned individually, according to the bite, treatment goals, and specific anatomy of the patient.

What are the advantages of mini / micro implants?

Micro implants provide more stable and predictable anchorage, which often makes planning and performing orthodontic corrections easier. They can help limit unwanted movements and allow forces to be applied more effectively in the desired direction.

In some patients, the use of micro implants may help optimize the duration of treatment and reduce the need for larger additional components within the braces system.

What should you expect after placement?

Some short-term discomfort may occur at the beginning, but it usually subsides quickly. The patient receives clear instructions on how to keep the area clean and what to avoid during the first few days, in order to support smooth adaptation.

Follow-up control is important, as it allows the specialist to monitor the stability of the micro implant and the condition of the surrounding tissues throughout the treatment.
