Resumen
The use of skeletal anchorage through mini-implants has
been widely widespread in orthodontic treatment today,
detaching therapies with complex orthodontic movements
and need for maximum anchorage. The aim of this article is to
describe an orthodontic treatment case report using
mini-implant, in order to the preparation for prosthetic
rehabilitation in clinical situation of multiple dental losses in
an adult patient. Partial bonding of brackets edgewise
prescription in maxilla was carried out, also the alignment
and leveling with sequence of nickel-titanium and stainless
steel arches. Posteriorly, a mini-implant with 8 millimeters
length was inserted for movement and retraction with
maximum control of anchorage in the right superior region
hemi-arch, together with elastics and mechanic springs.
Orthodontic mechanics proposed reached satisfactory
alignment and leveling of teeth involved, recovering space for
an appropriate prosthetic rehabilitation. The treatment
demonstrated very acceptable itself, with maintenance of face
balance and patient’s satisfaction with the result obtained.
The use of mini-implant to help orthodontic treatment showed
efficiency in the clinical case presented. Its handling was
easy with low cost, the different possibilities of configuration
for load vectors and elimination of anchorage losses in
complex orthodontic movements are some characteristics
which made the mini-imp
