BENAVIDES CHAVERRI, Sandra; CRUZ LOPEZ, Priscilla  e  CHANG VALVERDE, Mariela. Miniscrews a new alternative in the treatment of Orthodontics. Odontología Vital [online]. 2016, n.25, pp.63-75. ISSN 1659-0775.

The miniimplants are small devices of 1,2 mm of wide and 6 mm of length. Manufactured with a smooth machined surface that is not designed to osseointegrate. In orthodontics they are used as temporary anchorage for molar distalization, protraction and intrusion of molars and incisors. Also for closing wide edentulous spaces once considered impossible with conventional orthodontics.. The miniimplants are easily removed. As with any new technique clinicians should be aware in which cases use this devices and the sites of placing them.
