The Use of Microimplants in Lingual Orthodontic Treatment

Currently excellent clinical results can and are being achieved with lingual orthodontics. For many patients, due to esthetic considerations, this is their only choice. Certain orthodontists may still feel reluctant or hesitant to attempt this form of therapy; however, several articles^{7, 8, 9, 10 and 11} have shown that with the indirect bonding techniques available, by using straight wire principles and making use of microimplants for anchorage, the technique has been greatly simplified and has introduced significant treatment alternatives in 21st century orthodontics.
