The Mid-Palatal Absolute Anchorage System (MAAS) in Lingual Orthodontic Treatment
A skeletal anchorage system known as the Mid-palatal Absolute Anchorage System (MAAS) was developed to withstand more substantial orthodontic forces. This system is versatile enough to allow the provision of orthodontic forces in any required direction. In this lecture, lingual orthodontic methods using the MAAS as adjuncts to tooth movement in the various spatial planes will be discussed, along with illustrative clinical cases.
