Biomechanical Principles Of Anchorage

“Common challenges in managing anchorage mechanisms during treatment”

  • It is the resistance offered by the anchorage unit to tipping.
  • Its resistance value is low.
  • This resistance to tipping is used to move another tooth.

“Steps to explain different types of anchorage mechanisms in orthodontics”

  • Simple anchorage is obtained by engaging with the appliance a greater number of teeth that are to be moved within the same dental arch.
  • The combined root surface area of teeth forming the anchorage unit must be double that of the teeth to be moved. So, the resistance offered by the anchorage unit is greater than that offered by a tooth or teeth being moved.
