Selecting the Insertion Area
The Infinitas System can be used to provide bone anchorage in virtually any maxillary/mandibular interproximal site and in the hard palate, although the most frequently utilised insertion site is buccal and mesial to the maxillary first molar. The insertion site is determined by individual anchorage demands and anatomical factors (e.g. bone quantity, root and sinus positions). The exact insertion site is selected by studying each patient’s dental model and radiographs (OPT and/or periapical views) together. If there appears to be insufficient space then consider a short period of fixed appliance root divergence prior to mini implant insertion.
