Abstract

Orthodontic anchorage control during space closure is critical to prevent unwanted tooth movement, prolong treatment and maintain facial aesthetics. This randomised controlled trial compared mini-implant versus conventional molar anchorage (transpalatal arch) in 40 premolar extraction patients for bilateral canine retraction over 3 months. Mini-implants significantly reduced anchorage loss (0.42±0.31 mm versus 2.18±0.67 mm, p
