This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of an 18-year-old male patient who presented with Straight profile; tongue thrust habit, proclined upper incisors, generalised spacing in upper and lower arches, Katz's class II premolar relation unilaterally, class II canine relation unilaterally with increased overjet and overbite. A butterfly system was used in the treatment combined with frictionless biomechanics in the initial stage of treatment followed by continuous arch mechanics in the later part of treatment. A tongued crib was used to stop the tongue thrust habit along with one elastic swallow exercise. Micro-implant anchorage was used unilaterally in the upper arch for retraction of the entire segment and correction of the unilateral class II canine and premolar relationship. To avoid a dished in profile, a non-extraction treatment was executed. Final corrections of distally tipped canines were achieved using conventional Begg’s  uprighting auxiliaries in the vertical slots of butterfly system in the finishing stage. The case was finished using bite settling elastics. Total treatment time was 1 year 2 months. Aesthetic and functional goals were achieved satisfactorily with proper selection of biomechanics.

After the applications of mini-implant anchorage, the envelope of orthodontic treatment was expanded and some treatment modes were changed because of more predictable tooth movement with empowered anchorage. The author tried to share his experience of TADs applications for clarifying the paradigm shifts of orthodontic treatment assisted with the mini-implant anchorage.

Mini screws represent a new treatment modality in orthodontic biomechanics. They provide absolute anchorage, no secondary movements and reduced orthodontic treatment time. Futhermore, the surgical procedure for mini implants placement is quite simple and this type of treatment requires no patient compliance. We selected a clinical case in order to emphasize one of the most important indications of the mini implants: retrusion of the upper incisors for a incresed overjet case in a young patient. Two mini implants were placed in order to obtain the correction of the overjet and the retrusion of the anterior teeth. The retrusion was obtained in a reduced period of time using retraction devices on crimpable hooks.

Objective: To study the value of microscrew implant anchorage in orthodontic treatment. Methods: A total of 80 cases received orthodontic treatment in recent two years were selected and divided into experimental group and control group based on their received orthodontic measures, each group contains 40 cases. The control group was treated with general orthodontic treatment plan, while the study group received microscrew implant anchorage for the treatment. The clinical conditions of the two groups were counted and observed. Results: After different treatments, the effect of the study group was significantly better than that of the control group. All the indicators (including the improvement of molar displacement, incisor inclination angle and incisor convex distance) were available. In addition, there are obvious differences between the two groups in the occurrence of adverse reactions including inflammatory reaction, soft tissue edema and discomfort. Conclusion: In oral clinic, microscrew implant anchorage can achieve ideal curative effect for those who need orthodontics. Besides, its safety is relatively high, which is worth popularizing widely.
