Mini-implants have recently been introduced as simple absolute anchorage alternatives in orthodonticts. They can be implants made especially for orthodontic procedures or simple osteotomy fixation svrews. The main advantage of mini-implants is their small size and the size variety, significantly increases the potential sites placement especially the interadicular/ pararadicular regions.The orthodontic load is usually applied to the mini-implant immediately or very early after placement. A waiting period is not necessary because its primary stability is generally sufficient to sustain normal orthodontic loading due to the development of minimplant the treatments became simpler and fast.This paper approaches a literature review will have as objective to the use of the mini-implants in orthodontics, application of forces and referring aspects to the primary stability.
