Extra-alveolar IZC mini-implant associated with distalization mechaortonics

Abstract

Distalization is a mechanic routinely used by orthodontists, and there are several techniques to obtain this type of movement, but mini-implants have become popular due to their various advantages, with regard to distalization, the IZC mini-implant (infrazygomatic crest). Has been gaining more and more space due to the ease of its installation and predictability of its biomechanics, it is widely indicated when there are maxillary discrepancies such as in Class II correction, midline correction and even the correction of biprotrusion when associated with the buccal shelf. Because its position is vertical to the roots, there is no need to change its installation site during the course of treatment and because it is fixed in the oral cavity, it does not require patient cooperation. Due to all these advantages, extra-alveolar mini-implants are currently one of the best options when using distalization mechanics.
