Placement of the mini-implant and verticalization
an orthodontic mini-implant will be installed in the retromandibular region. The site will be anesthetized. The region will be pre-drilled by about 5mm with a spear drill attached to an implant motor. Once the mini-implant has been selected, it will be locked into position using a kit-specific digital key. Being threaded clockwise until the intramucosal mini-implant is at the gingival level. After installation, a metallic orthodontic lingual will be glued to the molar mesial to be verticalized. The lingual button will be glued to the inclined molar mesial with orthodontic adhesive. A gray chain elastomeric ligature will attach the head of the mini-implant to the lingual button glued to the molar mesial. A light force of 150gr will be imposed (measured with a tensiometer) in all cases, regardless of tooth position. This chain elastic will be changed every 30 days for a period of 3 months. After 90 days of the experiment time, the mini-implants will be removed.
