What is this mini-screw used for?

In this specific case, the mini-screw is placed with a very precise goal: it serves as a reliable anchor for moving the teeth to the right. This is necessary to ensure that your patient’s facial midline (an imaginary line running precisely through the center of the face) aligns with the incisal midline (the line running between the central upper incisors).

Why is This So Important?

When these two lines align, it achieves harmony and symmetry in the face and smile. This makes the smile more aesthetic and natural, and the face as a whole appears balanced. Without such an additional anchor, like a mini-screw, achieving precise and controlled tooth movement can be very difficult or even impossible in some cases.

How is the Placement Procedure?

The placement of a mini-screw is a quick and completely painless procedure that takes just a few minutes. We use local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any discomfort. After placement, the mini-screw will be unnoticeable to others, yet it will effectively perform its function, helping your teeth move into the correct position.

We always strive for perfection and use the most modern methods and technologies to ensure you achieve your best smile!
