Orthodontic anchoring screws are small, implantable metal rods designed to be placed into the jawbone to provide a stable anchor point for orthodontic appliances. They help correct misaligned teeth when traditional methods—like brackets and wires—are insufficient, particularly in cases of complex bite issues or compromised jaw structure.
These devices are typically single-use and regulated as medical implants, requiring compliance with surgical-grade standards. They are supplied sterile and may vary in size or threading design, but their classification and availability depend on local medical device laws and orthodontic practice guidelines.
