6. Definition
Anchorage is the resistance used to
overcome the reaction of an applied force.
According to Newton’s third law of motion,
to every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.

7. Resistance of a tooth to a given force
depend on the following:
Root area of a tooth, resistance is directly
proportional to root area.
2. Bone density in which the tooth is situated.
3. Force direction relative to direction of
natural growth.

8. Resistance of a tooth to a given force depend on the following:
4. Type of movement, greater resistance is
offered to a force which causes bodily
movement of the teeth than one which
permits teeth to tilt.
5. Muscular pressure can offer active resistance
to orthodontic tooth movement, e.g. in
tongue thrusting habit.
6. The manner of interlocking of cusps.

Parietal

11. Extra-oral Parietal, Occipital and
Cervical anchorage:
Occipital anchorage eliminates possibility of
undesirable forward movement of mandibular
anchor teeth and used to distalize or prevent
forward displacement of maxillary dental arch,
especially when teeth in mandibular arch do not
require mesial movement.

14. Intra-Oral
Intra-maxillary
Inter-maxillary
Intra-maxillary Anchorage: is obtained from teeth in one jaw to move other teeth
in same jaw.
Inter-maxillary Anchorage: is obtained from teeth in one jaw to move other teeth
in opposite jaw.

16. Simple anchorage: anchor tooth will
be tipped if it can not overcome the
resisting force.
Stationary anchorage: anchor tooth
would be moved bodily if it can not
overcome the resisting force.
Reciprocal: There is reciprocal force
exerted between teeth to be moved.

17. Single anchorage: a tooth of greater support
in the alveolar process is used to move a
tooth of lesser support.
Compound anchorage: number of teeth of
greater support in the alveolar process used
to move teeth of lesser support.

26. Reinforcement of anchorage:
a) Mandible may be used to reinforce the
anchorage by engagement of lower incisors
& canines by a plane built on palatal aspect
of a removable appliance.
b) A rigid short labial bow wire, incisors
engaged palatally at cervical margin by
base plate and labially with labial bow so
they can move bodily forward with the
appliance.

27. Unit A has substantially more anchorage value than
Unit B. Thus, Unit A moves little but Unit B moves
a lot.

28. Temporary Orthodontic Micro
Anchorage System
Orthodontic mini screw,
self-tapping cutting edge
tip and tapered structured
profile will make your
precise implant possible.
Further, will minimize the
treatment period and
assure an outstanding
result.

29. Correction in the anteroposterior plane of space: molar protraction
Indications:
• Corrections in the anteroposterior dimension
• Corrections in the vertical dimension
• Preprosthetic orthodontics, single tooth movement,
and mutilated dentition
Correction in the vertical plane of space: molar intrusion
