Tiny screws vs. teeth: which works better for braces?

NCT ID NCT01025141

Summary

This study compared two methods for moving teeth during orthodontic treatment after premolar extractions. Researchers tested whether using tiny temporary screws (MINISCREW) placed in the jawbone works better than using other teeth for anchorage when closing extraction spaces. The study involved 99 participants aged 12-50 and measured how effectively each method closed gaps over 8 months of treatment.
