title: Mini-implant anchorage for the orthodontic practitioner.
abstract: Mini-implant-enhanced anchorage has become a popular concept in orthodontics over the past years. Although these systems are routinely used in university settings, there is some reservation because of lack of information in private practices. This article will introduce the concept of mini-implant anchorage to the orthodontic practitioner.
