Summary

Microimplants offer effective orthodontic anchorage for distalizing mandibular molars in skeletal Class III malocclusion. This non-surgical approach improves bite closure and maintains dental stability.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Orthodontics
Skeletal Malocclusion

Background:

Traditional orthodontic mechanics for skeletal Class III malocclusion present challenges in anchorage control and can cause reciprocal effects.

Keywords:

class iii direct anchorage mechanics microimplant molar distalization
