Skeletal Anchorage System

The Skeletal Anchoring System is a bone-borne temporary anchorage system made up of titanium anchor screws and plates. This device is intended to be used as an anchor in orthodontic operations such tooth intrusion and extrusion, space closure, distal and mesial movement, and 3D control of teeth. The use of devices for skeletal anchorage has gained popularity since they are simple to insert, come in a variety of sizes to enable their application in diverse locations, and provide secure anchorage for the application of orthodontic forces. Consequently, the information in this book describes Skeletal Anchoring System.
