title: Maximum anchorage in orthodontics with the palatal implant: maximum anchorage in orthodontics with the palatal implant.
abstract: Maximum anchorage in the maxilla can only be achieved by using headgear worn full-time or by using an implant. As full time wear requires considerable patient cooperation, we describe a technique for use of the Straumann Ortho Implant, exemplified by a case presentation. The cephalometric analysis at the end of therapy confirms that the upper molars did not slip forward during treatment (no anchorage loss).
