Titanium microscrews represent an exciting new modality for orthodontic treatment. Retraction, protraction, intrusion and extrusion of anterior and posterior teeth can occur without harmful side effects on adjacent teeth and without reliance on patients' cooperation in wearing elastics, facemasks, or headgears. There are no moving parts in the mechanism, and movements in one jaw occur independently or the other. The results include greater patient acceptance, more comfort, and less breakage of appliances.
