[Mesialization of upper second molars using skeletal anchorage].
Anchorage represents a great issue that challenged orthodontists all over the years. Nowadays, with the use of microimplants, it has become possible even to induce complex teeth movements.


OBJECTIVE
To present a clinical case in which mesialisation of upper second molars was performed by the means of using miniimplants.


RESULTS
The present case shows how a bilateral mesialization of upper second molars using skeletal anchorage was performed by orthodontic treatment using fixed appliances and miniimplants.


CONCLUSIONS
The placing site of the miniimplants plays a huge role in the moments of force produced and delivered to the teeth, thus influencing tooth movement. Miniimplants increase tooth movement control, by the use of skeletal anchorage. The success of their usage depends upon its good primary stabilization and a judicious loading.
