Area of Science:

Orthodontics and Dental Implantology
Biomaterials and Osseointegration

Background:

Conventional orthodontic correction of dental asymmetry carries risks of side effects due to tooth-borne anchorage limitations.
Skeletal anchorage using mini-implants has emerged as a successful alternative in orthodontics.
Surface-treated two-component mini-implants (C-implants) represent a recent advancement in skeletal anchorage.

Observation:

The clinical application of C-implants for managing dental midline correction was demonstrated through case reports.
Asymmetric retraction procedures utilizing C-implants for maximum anchorage were detailed.
The biomechanics of C-implant assisted midline correction were compared to conventional methods.

Findings:

The study showcases the successful clinical application of C-implants in anterior retraction for managing dental asymmetry.
