This document discusses the concept of anchorage in orthodontics. It defines anchorage as resistance to unwanted tooth movement and classifies it according to factors like the direction of force application and location of anchorage units. The factors that affect anchorage like tooth morphology, bone support, and musculature are described. Different sources of anchorage including intraoral teeth and bones, as well as extraoral structures, are outlined. Various anchorage techniques like simple, stationary, and reciprocal anchorage are explained along with examples. The concepts of anchorage loss, demand, and reinforcement are introduced. Advances in temporary anchorage devices and implant anchorage are also briefly mentioned.
4. ANCHORAGE = RESISTANCE TO UNWANTED
TOOTH MOVEMENT.
ANCHORAGE UNITS : The areas or units which
provide this undesirable movement.

6. THE SITE OF DELIVERY FROM WHICH
FORCE IS EXERTED
- white n gardner
The nature and degree of resistance to
displacement offered by an anatomic unit
when used for the purpose of affecting
tooth movement
- GRABER

8. Acc. to manner of the force application as:
1. Simple
2. Stationary
3. Reciprocal
Acc. to the jaws involved as :
1. Intra maxillary
2. Inter maxillary
www.indiandentalacademy.com
9. Acc. to the site of anchorage
1. Intra oral
2. Extra oral
3. Muscular
Acc.to the no. of anchorage units as :
1. Simple
2. Compound
3. Reinforced
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. Acc. To white n gardner
1. Simple
2. Stationary
3. Reciprocal
4. Reinforced
5. Inter maxillary
6. Extra oral
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. 1. Teeth
2. Root forms
Round – resistance is same in any direction
Flat – resist tooth movement in M-D direction eg. mand.
Incisors & molars , buccal roots of max. molars ( tripod
arrangement of roots )
Triangular – offers greater resistance to movement. Eg.
Maxillary canine & lateral incisor
www.indiandentalacademy.com
13. 1. Size n no. of roots – large surface area & multirooted
teeth > resistance
2. Root length – deeper the root embeded > resistance
3. Position of tooth in the dental arch – eg. Mandi. 2nd
molar
is located bt. Two ridges of basal bone , so offer more
resistance to bodily movement
4. Inclination of tooth – axial inclination is in opposite
direction to force , greater resistance
5. Mutual support
www.indiandentalacademy.com
14. 1. Basal bone – eg.hard
palate & lingual surface
of the mandible in
anterior region.
2. The musculature –
Hypotonic m. - Flaring &
spacing
Hypertonic m. - Collapse
of the teeth lingually
eg.Nance palatal button
( use of hard palate to
provide resistance to
mesial movement of
max. molar
www.indiandentalacademy.com
18. Depends on : -
1. The number of teeth to be moved
2. The type of teeth to be moved
3. Type of tooth movement
4. Periodontal condition
5. Duration of tooth movement
www.indiandentalacademy.com
20. Within the same jaw ( either maxilla or
mandible )
Eg.Elastic chains are
used to retract the
anterior segment
using the posterior
teeth as anchorage
unit.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
23. When the anchorage units situated in the one
jaw are used to provide the force required to
move teeth in the opposing jaw.
SUB DIVISION :
1. Simple
2. Staionary
3. Reciprocal
Also called “BAKER’S ANCHORAGE”
www.indiandentalacademy.com
24. Eg. When class II elastics are used to
retract the maxillary anteriors , the
anchorage units are situated in the
mandibular arch.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
25. CLASS III INTER MAXILLARY ELASTICS
www.indiandentalacademy.com
27. When the manner & application of force is
such that it tends to change the axial
inclination of the tooth or teeth that form the
anchorage unit in the plane of the space in
which the force is applied.
Simple anchorage is obtained by engaging
a greater number of teeth than are to be
moved
www.indiandentalacademy.com
28. NT: The root surface area of the anchorage unit
should be at least double that of the units to be
moved.
eg. Anterior retraction with the
help of a HAWLEY’S
appliance
The movement of a single
tooth using a screw
appliance
www.indiandentalacademy.com
30. When the application of force tends to displace
the anchorage unit bodily in the plane of space in
which force is being applied
The anchorage potential of teeth being moved
bodily is considerably greater as compare to
teeth being moved using a tipping force.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
31. Mandibular molars are bodily pitted against
the tipping forces of the maxillary anteriors.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
33. When two teeth or two sets of teeth move to an
equal extend in an opposite direction .
Here the root surface area of the anchorage unit
is equal to that of the teeth to be moved.
The effect of the forces exerted is equal.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
34. • Cross Elastic To Correct
Molar Cross-bite
Ni-Ti Molar
Rotator
Arch expansion using a mid-
line screw
www.indiandentalacademy.com
35. SINGLE OR PRIMARY ANCHORAGE
The resistance provided by single tooth
with greater alveolar support is used to
move another tooth with lesser alveolar
support.
Eg. Molar being used to retract a pre
molar
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. COMPOUND ANCHORAGE
The resistance is provided by more than one
tooth with greater support is used to move
teeth with less support.
Eg. Retracting incisors using loop mechanics
www.indiandentalacademy.com
38. The anchorage units are reinforced by the
use of more than one type of resistance
units.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
39. Anterior inclined plane
Exerts a backward
pull on the maxillary
appliance through the
mandible
www.indiandentalacademy.com
40. SVED BITE PLANE :
Prevent from being
inclined labially.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
41. A rigid labial bow :
To engage labial surface
of the incisor at the
junction of cervical &
incisal third of each
crown.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
42. Banding of 2nd
molar
for the retraction of
permanent canine
www.indiandentalacademy.com
49. Advantage
The anchorage unit is far away from the
actual site where the movement is taking
place, so less chances of any change in
the anchorage units
www.indiandentalacademy.com
50. Disadvantage
Lack of patient’s co- operation
Anchorage assembly is bulky & externally
visible
Decrease in the number of hours for which the
anchorage assembly is worn, so affects quality
of result achieved
www.indiandentalacademy.com
52. Peri oral musculature is not so strong but also
resilient.
The forces generated by the musculature
sometimes used to bring about tooth
movement.
eg.Lip bumper appliance
(to distalize mandibular
1st
molars)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
53. ANCHORAGE LOSS
It is the movement of the reaction unit or
the anchor unit instead of the teeth to be
moved.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
54. ANCHORAGE DEMAND
Depending on anchorage loss : -
1. Maximum anchorage case
2. Moderate anchorage case
3. Minimum anchorage case
www.indiandentalacademy.com
55. Maximum anchorage cases
Anchorage demand is
very high
Not more than ¼ th of
the extraction space
should be lost by
forward movement of
the anchor teeth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
56. Moderate anchorage cases
Anchor teeth can be
permitted to move
forward into ¼ th to ½
of the extraction
space.
