Malocclusions (bite disorders) are diverse and may be caused either by incorrect tooth positioning or by structural abnormalities of the jaws. These variations require an individualized treatment approach depending on the clinical situation.

In mild cases, orthodontic treatment is mainly carried out using dental braces, which gradually guide teeth into the correct position. However, in more complex cases, braces alone are not sufficient, as an additional and stable anchorage is required to control tooth movement effectively.

For this purpose, modern dentistry widely uses mini dental implants (micro screws)  as an essential tool to improve the efficiency and precision of orthodontic treatment.

A mini dental implant is a small, high-strength titanium screw that is temporarily placed into the jawbone.

Unlike traditional dental implants, which replace the root of a missing tooth and are intended for permanent restoration, mini dental implants do not replace teeth. Instead, they serve exclusively as temporary orthodontic anchorage to guide and control tooth movement.

Mini implants provide an additional and stable anchorage point, allowing for more precise control of tooth movement and the direction of orthodontic forces. 

They make it possible to:

✓ Maximum treatment efficiency: develop a clear and controlled treatment plan, reducing the need for intermediate stages and focusing directly on correcting problematic areas.
✓ Acceleration of tooth movement: a stable anchorage point allows orthodontic forces to be applied more precisely, resulting in faster and more effective tooth movement.
✓ Preservation of healthy teeth: in some cases where space creation is required, mini implants help avoid the extraction of healthy teeth by enabling controlled movement of the entire dental arch toward the desired position.
✓ Predictable and stable results: this method reduces the risk of unwanted tooth movements, ensuring high accuracy and long-term stability of the treatment outcome.

Mini dental implants offer several key clinical advantages that make them an effective tool in modern orthodontics.

✓ Compact size – allows placement even between tooth roots without damaging adjacent roots
✓ Minimally invasive procedure – performed under local anesthesia without extensive surgery
✓ Quick placement – the procedure usually takes around 10–15 minutes
✓ Immediate loading – can be used immediately after placement without a healing delay
✓ Easy removal – after treatment completion, they are removed simply and without residual effects

Mini dental implants are widely used in Yerevan as an effective anchorage system in modern orthodontics, especially for complex bite correction cases.

They act as temporary but stable anchorage devices that allow more precise and controlled tooth movement. This is particularly important when complex corrections are required without placing excessive load on adjacent teeth.

The use of mini dental implants allows clinicians to:

They are especially effective in clinical situations where additional support is needed to properly distribute orthodontic forces during treatment. In more advanced cases, full mouth mini dental implants may be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, particularly when multiple teeth require stabilization or when full-arch restoration is needed․
