During the past few years, the application of miniscrew implants has been expanded to include a wide array of cases, including the correction of deep over bites, (29,30) closure of extraction spaces, (31-33) correction of a canted occlusal plane, (29) alignment of dental midlines,29 extrusion of impacted canines, (34) extrusion and uprighting of impacted molars, (35-47) molar intrusion, maxillary molar distalization, distalization of mandibular teeth, (47) en-masse retraction of anterior teeth,48 molar mesialization, (49,50) upper third molar alignment,
intermaxillary anchorage for the correction of sagittal discrepancies, (48) and correction of vertical skeletal discrepancies that would otherwise require orthognathic surgical procedure.
