Anchorage remains one of the most fundamental concepts in orthodontics, serving as the cornerstone for achieving controlled and predictable tooth movement. Defined as the resistance to unwanted tooth displacement, anchorage plays a critical role in treatment planning, biomechanics, and the successful attainment of treatment objectives. The evolution of orthodontic practice has witnessed a transition from conventional anchorage methods, including intraoral and extraoral appliances, to advanced skeletal anchorage systems that offer enhanced control and reduced dependence on patient compliance.
This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of anchorage concepts, beginning with the biological and biomechanical principles that govern anchorage control. Various types of anchorage, their indications, and methods of reinforcement will be discussed, along with strategies to prevent anchorage loss during treatment. Special emphasis will be placed on temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and skeletal anchorage systems, highlighting their role in expanding treatment possibilities, improving efficiency, and facilitating complex tooth movements.
