Abstract
Mini-implants inserted in the anterior palate are showing the very high success rates
of 91.5% - 99%. Compared to other insertion sites they can be used effectively for
molar distalization, space closure, rapid maxillary expansion and protraction, molar
intrusion and alignment of impacted upper teeth. In recent years, CAD-CAM techniques
such as printed insertions guides and 3D metal printing were integrated into full
digital workflows. These new procedures allow mini-implant insertion and appliance
fitting in one appointment and may give orthodontists more confidence to insert in
the optimum site. Additionally, the CAD/CAM design process may offer the opportunity
to further improve orthodontic appliances biomechanically.
