Skeletal anchorage is the most revolutionary technique developed in orthodontics in the past decade. While not every orthodontic patient needs it, many can benefit from it as it has the ability to:
deliver predictable results
reduce treatment time
avoid headgear wear
avoid removal of teeth
avoid surgery
This site is intended as a source of information for orthodontic patients to become acquainted with this new technique. Please take some time to explore it.
Above is an actual treatment result achieved using skeletal anchorage with braces. This patient did not have any teeth removed and did not go through surgery to correct his jaws.
"Today, everybody researches topics on the internet. I noticed however that the currently available information on skeletal anchorage and TADs for patients is confusing, incomplete, and at times biased. I originally built this site for my own patients as a source of unbiased information to bridge any information gap that may exist after a personal consultation with the orthodontist. I am glad to see though that it has become a general patient education resource for progressive orthodontists world wide." Dr. Sebastian Baumgaertel, creator of skeletalanchorage.com and orthodontic educator.
