This paper provides a brief review of the history and development of mini screws and presents its structural features, with particular reference to the screw sizes relevant to clinical orthodontics, site selection and the different placement techniques. It covers the clinical applications of miniscrews, incorporating the principle of direct and indirect anchorage as well as the use of intraoral auxiliaries for distal movement of molars. The role of palatal miniscrews for retraction of anterior teeth, and when used in combination with buccal miniscrews for intrusion of buccal teeth is also covered along with the possible causes of miniscrew failure. Finally, a conclusion is put forward that the use of miniscrews in orthodontics has a valid clinical basis and will enhance the scope of orthodontic practice.
本文简要回顾了微型螺钉的历史与发展，并介绍了其结构特点，特别提及了与临床正畸相关的螺钉尺寸、位点选择及不同的植入技术。它涵盖了微型螺钉的临床应用，包括直接和间接支抗原理以及使用口内辅助装置使磨牙远移。还介绍了腭部微型螺钉在前牙内收中的作用，以及与颊侧微型螺钉联合用于颊侧牙齿压低时的情况，同时也讨论了微型螺钉失败的可能原因。最后得出结论，微型螺钉在正畸治疗中的应用具有有效的临床依据，将扩大正畸实践的范围。
