<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAlthough most minor problems associated with screwing in teeth are easily fixed with a simple tooth-colored filling, some patients may experience more significant problems. Mini-screws are typically inserted between the root and the tooth. During placement, the mini-screw may accidentally contact the root surface. However, this minor risk is relatively minor and heals in about twelve to eighteen months. Mini-screws can also become loose after a few months, but a subsequent visit can easily replace them in their original position. Almost 80 percent of patients who receive this procedure have good results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The diameter of the mini-screw will determine its stability in the bone. Mini-screws with a diameter of 1.2mm to 2.3mm are considered stable. When screwing in teeth, it is important to choose the right size based on the length of the mini-screw. The diameter is also important, as you want to ensure that there is enough bone around the screw shank to prevent premature loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to being hypoallergenic, mini-screws are used for a variety of dental procedures. In orthodontics, they are used as temporary anchorage devices and provide support to poorly-positioned teeth. They are also referred to as micro-screws, mini-implants, and mini-screws. However, there is still some controversy surrounding the use of these dental devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are more than 30 types of mini-screws available in the market. Some of the popular ones are: Ortho Easy (Forestadent), Aarhus (American Orthodontics), Dual Top (Jell Medical), LomasMondeal, and tomas, from Dentaurum. While most mini-screws are made of pure titanium, alloys of titanium or vanadium are also available. These alloys are safer for direct contact with bone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
