Pre-operative radiograph with 2 mm inter-radicular space. Post-operative radiograph with 1.5 mm mini implant



Radiographic image of implant touching tooth root. Implant repositioned to avoid tooth root



- Second molars have been extracted and a lingual appliance fitted. - Mini-screw implants placed distal to the first molars

and elastomeric threads used to distalize the molars and premolars in stages

Template bent from rectangular wire and affixed with light-cured acrylic. B. Periapical radiograph of template. C. Mini-implant insertion.


Traction force and tooth movement. : Center of resistance (CR) of the dental arch. Red ★arrow: orthodontic traction force; Black arrows: direction of tooth movement. Parallel

translation in the posterior direction is seen when the force vector is directed through the CR and remains parallel to the occlusal plane.

Parallel translation in the posterosuperior direction is seen when the forcevector passes through the CR and is directed in a posterosuperior direction.

Depression of molars and distal movement of the anterior teeth is expectedwhen the force vector is directed inferior to the CR



Second premolar needs to be uprighted and moved mesially. Mini-screw implant placed between the canine and first premolar



Vertical arm soldered to buccal tube of the first molar. Direct traction to a mini-screw placed between the canine and lateral incisor



Elastomeric chain from the mini-screw to the archwire. Direct anchorage, Spacesclosed and overjet reduced
