Abstract
Orthodontic mini-screws are developing more and more because they make orthodontics easier and broaden its applications. This exponential development has arrived at a well defined mini-screw and a codified installation procedure. The aim of this article is to provide the conceptual elements of mini-screws in order to allow their safe use in orthodontic offices.
