Comparison Between Stainless Steel and Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Temporary Anchorage Devices in Orthodontics - A Comparative Study
Although stainless steel exhibited greater load resistance, PEEK mini-implants exceeded clinically relevant orthodontic forces (50-400 g), supporting their potential as temporary anchorage devices. Further in vivo and clinical studies are needed to confirm long-term performance.
