Closing anterior open bite, intrusion of molars and treating mutilated malocclusion are achievable effortlessly using implant orthodontics. Some may call implant orthodontics "panacea" to all malocclusions.
On the other hand, implantation surgery can cause headache to some orthodontists. Implant dislodgement, implantation pain or over retraction may also cause insomnia to orthodontists. Other unexpected mishaps can also happen during implant usage. Biomechanics of tooth movement with implant is also unclear. This presentation will elucidate implant myth and pave the way for implant orthodontics to be "real panacea" to both malocclusion and orthodontist's insomnia.
The final part will discuss about all new technologies combined with implant orthodontics to treat difficult cases. These new technologies include clear aligner, low friction brackets and biomechanics of tooth movement with implant. It will innovate implant from genuine panacea to "state-of-the-art orthodontics."
