Abstract

Background:  A fundamental requirement of successful treatment of various malocclusions in the field of orthodontics is the presence of secure anchorage. Anchorage has been defined as the source of resistance to the forces generated in reaction to active components of an appliance. In simple words, it means resistance to displacement. All of those anchorage arrangements like headgears, elastics, transpalatal arches, lingual arches, and nance palatal arch produce acceptable to good anchorage but not provide completely secure anchorage in all three dimensions. Anchorage loss is a reciprocal reaction that could obstruct the success of orthodontic treatment by complicating the anteroposterior correction of malocclusion possibly detracting from facial esthetics. So, interest in appliances that use implant-based anchorage has been great, but they had some disadvantages such as space limitations and cause impingement on roots during placement. Therefore, Skeletal anchorage system that utilizes miniplates and miniscrews have been introduced into orthodontics for obtaining more secure anchorage.
