One of the major issues in orthodontic treatment is anchorage planning when using a pre adjusted edgewise appliance system. The conventional methods described in the literature include banding of second molars, transpalatal arches and headgears that involve additional teeth or wire components. With the introduction of temporary anchorage devices, anchorage can be ideally planned to treat a case successfully. However, the stability and placement of these mini implants demands accurate positioning, good bone thickness without damaging the adjacent structures. Here, we illustrate a very economical and two dimensional mini implant guide for accurate and easy placement.
