A palatal locking plate anchor for orthodontic tooth movement.

摘要

A recently developed titanium locking plate for orthognathic surgery, designed to prevent screw movement and loosening,1 can also be effective in orthodontic treatment (Fig. 1). The palatal locking plate anchor (PLPA) can be used as skeletal anchorage for a wide variety of tooth movements (Fig. 2), as described in this article.
