Abstract :

Abstract In orthodontics, anchorage is often produced by bringing forth the desired movement of misaligned teeth utilising a tooth or group of teeth. As orthodontics has advanced over the past few decades, practitioners have used micro-implants for anchorage with great success. This is due to the implants' many benefits, including simplicity of insertion and removal, small size, and patient compliance.Micro-implant(MI) placement has always been a challenging and complex therapeutic option. The placement of orthodontic mini-screw implants determines their stability and success. As a result, choosing an implant loading location carefully is essential. A clinical and radiographic evaluation may be used to determine the mini-implant placement site. Many techniques have been developed to facilitate the mini-implants placement but requires more time for guide fabrication or because of inaccurate radiographic interpretation. The present article provides a new method for fabrication of a simplified template for guiding mini-screw implant placement.
