Micro-implants / Temporary Anchorage Devices

Dr Singh has received extensive training in the use of Microimplants as temporary anchorage devices. These are not the implants to replace missing teeth. These are very tiny screws (placed temporarily for a few months) and are used as anchors to move a large segment of teeth together which was previously not possible with braces or aligners alone. With the use of these screws, Dr Singh has been able to eliminate jaw surgeries in a large group of severe malocclusion patients.

Benefits of Micro-implants / Temporary Anchorage Devices

Avoidance of Jaw Surgery

Microimplants allow the correction of severe malocclusions without the need for invasive jaw surgery, providing a less risky and more comfortable treatment option.

Precise Tooth Movement

These tiny screws act as anchors, enabling the movement of large segments of teeth with exceptional precision, something previously unattainable with braces or aligners alone.

Temporary and Non-Invasive

Microimplants are small, minimally invasive, and only remain in place for a few months, reducing long-term impact and recovery time.

Improved Treatment Outcomes

By offering additional anchorage, microimplants enhance the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment, leading to better and faster results in complex cases.

Broad Applicability

Suitable for a wide range of severe malocclusion cases, these devices expand the scope of what can be achieved with orthodontics alone.

Reduced Discomfort

Placement of microimplants is quick and causes minimal discomfort compared to surgical alternatives, improving the patient experience.
