Abstract: During the orthodontic treatment anchorage control is the most important factor of successful treatment. Micro-implants are new stationary anchorage; they are osseointegrated implants, implanted in the jaw of the patients. Skeletal anchorage system allows direct connection between screw-implant and target teeth that we need to correct orthodontically; provides absolute anchorage and adequate tooth movement. Orthodontic treatment, using a skeletal anchorage system, is not only effective, but it also offers a variety of treatment alternatives in challenging cases where traditional mechanics cannot be used. The orthodontic treatment with micro-implants is independent of patient’s cooperation; it takes shorter time; enables harmonious occlusion and gives functional and aesthetic individual optimum. Keywords: skeletal anchorage system, micro-implants, micro-screw, temporary anchorage device
