Abstract:
Anchorage is a major concern in adult mutilated dentition. However, with the explosive development of Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) newer avenues in orthodontic treatment philosophy have opened up. Mini-screws are found to be stable during such treatments, demonstrating that they could provide absolute anchorage for tooth movement. The present article describes a simple, yet effective technique for simultaneous molar uprighting and distalization, using direct skeletal anchorage using a mini-screw supported assembly in a 38 years old male patient as part of adjunctive adult orthodontics with mutilated dentition.
