Abstract

A tilted occlusal plane is the cause of an unpleasant smile, but it also represents a challenge due to the complex orthodontic procedures associated with its treatment. Skeletal anchorage allows for effective treatment of this asymmetry in most cases, with less dependence on patient cooperation and less need for orthognathic surgery. Mini-implants are an excellent choice for correcting the inclined occlusal plane as they guarantee effective bone anchorage as it is a simple and minimally invasive technique that does not affect facial aesthetics. Given this premise, this article aims to discuss the main aspects related to the diagnosis of occlusal plane inclination, treatment options and orthodontic mechanics of skeletal anchorage via mini- implants. Important details related to orthodontic mechanics for correcting the occlusal plane will also be presented, avoiding side effects and successfully achieving treatment goals and long-term stability.
