• Resumen

  • Orthodontic mini-implants are a valuable adjunct in orthodontics and potentially expand the orthodontic treatment envelope. In particular, their use may revolutionize the treatment of anterior openbites through the application of direct molar intrusion. Clinical protocols for mini-implant usage are just beginning to evolve and this paper describes the basis for a new clinical approach and future research, for the orthodontic treatment of anterior openbites.
