Mini-implants – before and after

A mini-implant is a tiny titanium screw, 1.5–2 mm wide, placed in the bone beside the roots of the teeth. It gives the orthodontist a fixed anchor, so teeth can be moved exactly where they are needed – without headgear. It is placed in a few minutes under local anaesthesia and removed easily after the stage of treatment that needs it.

We only show photos of the teeth, with no faces or names. Results vary from patient to patient – every treatment plan is made after an examination.
