Anatomical Insights In Orthodontic Bone Screw Placement: A Review

AbstractIn today's scenario, treatment approaches have been changed to treat complex cases. Traditionally, cases which were treated by extraction only or by surgical approach to achieve acceptable incisor position, now these can be done by new advancements of orthodontic bone screws (infra zygomatic crest screw and buccal shelf screw). These screws provide sufficient anchorage for en mass distalization and intrusion. This narrative review article aims to provide anatomical factors needs to be considered for placing these extra alveolar TADs to achieve maximal stability so that they can serve for the purpose they are being used.
