Miniscrew anchorage has greatly expanded the limit of clinical orthodontics. Even without patient compliance, miniscrews can provide stationary anchorages for various tooth movements and even make it possible to move the tooth in directions which have been impossible with traditional orthodontic mechanics. On the other hand, the clinical use of miniscrew anchorage may include some complication. We have to understand these risks and complications of miniscrew anchorage which will lead to their failure and pay attention for their safety-conscious use.
