Orthodontic mini-screws placement

Action / reaction is a basic Newton principle. When orthodontists needs to move teeth, they usually take their “anchorage” on other teeth in the mouth. Sometimes, extra-oral forces are required in order to prevent unwanted tooth displacement.
Contemporary orthodontics can use “true anchorage” by the use of mini-screws that are inserted directly in the bone. These screws are integrated in the bone and cannot move. Mini-screws have many advantages and can be very useful to avoid extra-oral forces devices for example.

    i dont believe in extractions for ortho treatment. the patient is already paying twice as much for lingual braces and about $1000 for each mini-implant, and yet the doctor suggest to pull the premolars… thats ridiculous. dentistry should be about conservation

    i just got this done today, one on the right side and one of the left side of my mouth.
    it had almost no pain, just a very sharp feeling on the tooth under it.
    I am going to try to lay off crunchy stuff, no need to be scared and when they say Novicane is the worst part there not lying haha, novicane is the only thing you could really feel.

    although i jumped at the idea of only having to have braces on the bottom teeth i found that these didn’t suit my lifestyle as a rugby union player i received many knocks to the mouth and found that they actually can and do become loose….i have now had them removed and full braces put on. though i would have kept them if it wasn’t for my love of rugby union

  8. It shouldn’t. The …
    It shouldn’t. The TADs are screwed into the bone of the gumline, which doesn’t have any nerves. The gumline itself will be numbed upon insertion, and as should be known, the gumline will accomodate to any strange changes afterwards, blisters notwithstanding. So where should the pain come from but your mind?

    Curious …. I have never removed any mini-screw because of pain, I swear !
    I removed all but one of them at the end of the treatment, even if some of them were slightly mobile, but still “in fonction”. The one that failed was mobile several months after insertion. I had to replace a new one 2 month after removal. But at any time the situation was painfull
