7. Anchorage value of a tooth
1. The number of roots.
2. The size and length of the root.
3. The periodontal support of the tooth.
4. The form of the root.
5. The inclination of the tooth.
9. Classification of anchorage
2. According to the jaw
involved:
a. Intramaxillary:
All the anchor units exist in
the same jaw of the teeth to be
moved.
10. Classification of anchorage
1. According to the jaw
involved:
b. Intermaxillary:
The anchor units also
exist in the opposite jaw of
the teeth to be moved.
11. Classification of anchorage
3. According to the number of anchorage unit:
a. Single or primary:
Single tooth with greater alveolar support is used to move a
tooth with lesser alveolar support.
b. Compound:
Multiple teeth are used.
c. Multiple or reinforced:
More than one type of anchorage is used e.g. more teeth
with intermaxillary and extraoral anchorage.
13. Classification of anchorage
4. According to the manner of force applications:
a. Simple:
The resistance of anchor unit- which has greater alveolar
support- to tipping/bodily movement is used to cause
tipping/bodily movement of the intended teeth which have lesser
alveolar support.
i.e. similar movements but the anchor unit has a greater alveolar
support.
15. Classification of anchorage
4. According to the manner of force applications:
b. Reciprocal:
The resistance of anchor unit to tipping or bodily movement is
used to cause tipping or bodily movement of the intended teeth,
both unit have the same alveolar support.
Here the two units have the same strength so they move the
same distance.
18. Classification of anchorage
4. According to the manner of force applications:
c. Stationary:
The resistance of the anchor unit to bodily movement is used
against tipping movement of the teeth to be moved.
i.e. different movements but the movement of the anchor unit is
more difficult. The alveolar support is irrelevant.
21. Factors affecting anchorage
1. The size and number of teeth being moved.
2. Types of tooth movement.
2. Duration of tooth movement.
3. The space between the teeth.
4. Tendency for tooth movement in the arch.
5. The facial height.
22. Anchorage loss
Anchorage loss is the unintentional movement of
the anchor units instead of the teeth which was
intended to be moved.
It is very important to plan for your anchorage in
order to avoid unwanted anchorage loss.
Anchorage burn??.
23. Anchorage planning
Absolute anchorage:
Zero anchorage loss.
Maximum anchorage:
1/3 of the space available is utilized by the anchor
unit.
Moderate anchorage:
Up to ½ of the space.
Minimum anchorage:
2/3 of the space.
24. How to reinforce your
anchorage?
Add more teeth to anchorage unit.
Decrease the teeth in the moving unit (i.e.
move one tooth at a time).
Use light force.
25. How to reinforce your
anchorage?
Use intermaxillary anchorage.
26. Trans-palatal arch Lingual arch
Use lingual
arch,
Transpalatal
arch and
Nance button.
Nance ButtonHow to
reinforce your
anchorage?
30. Anchorage Reinforcement
Add more teeth to anchorage unit.
Decrease the teeth in the moving unit (i.e. move one tooth
at a time).
Use light force.
Use intermaxillary anchorage.
Use lingual arch, Transpalatal arch and Nance bottom.
Use extraoral appliance.
Use Temporary anchorage devices (TADs).

presented. The author was working as a lecturer of orthodontics at Ibn Sina
University, Sudan International University, and as a Master student in Orthodontics at
University of Khartoum.
