Extraction-free treatment. Beneslider, IZC screws. Thanks to modern skeletal anchorage techniques, in most cases we can avoid removing teeth. The face keeps its full, harmonious oval.
The philosophy of extraction-free treatment
For decades, the orthodontic standard for crowded or excessively protruding teeth was the removal of one or two pairs of premolars. Today, thanks to modern skeletal anchorage techniques, in most cases we can avoid this.
The philosophy of extraction-free treatment is based on distalising the posterior teeth – moving the molars towards the back of the arch, which frees up space for the front teeth. The key is precise anchorage of forces – so that the energy acts only where it should.
The result? A full set of teeth preserved in the jaw – no gaps, no risk of gum recession, no loss of facial dimension.
Why does skeletal anchorage change the rules of the game?
Traditionally, orthodontic forces had to “brace” against the patient’s own teeth – moving some backwards inevitably pulled others forward. Skeletal mini-implants (TADs) break with this principle: the forces brace directly against the bone of the upper or lower jaw. Each tooth can be moved independently, with full control over the direction and magnitude of the force.
Important – Not every case qualifies for extraction-free treatment. The decision is made by the orthodontist after detailed cephalometric analysis and assessment of space and skeletal relationships. Our goal is always to preserve teeth wherever possible without compromising tissue health or facial aesthetics.
Applications of extraction-free treatment
Class II
Retruded lower jaw, excessive overjet – distalisation of the upper molars without extractions, with correction of the jaw relationship.
Deep bite
Intrusion of the upper front teeth or molars – impossible without skeletal anchorage.
Severe crowding
Creating space by distalising the whole arch, not by removing teeth.
Dental asymmetries
One-sided tooth movements with precise anchorage control.
Borderline surgical cases
Instead of orthognathic surgery – correction through the extended possibilities of orthodontic mechanics.
A thin gum biotype
Avoiding extractions is a choice that benefits periodontal health for life.
BENESLIDER
A fixed intraoral appliance acting directly on the upper molars – moving them distally (backwards) with the support of mini-implants. It enables controlled distalisation of even several millimetres, without relying on patient cooperation. Particularly effective in Class II correction.
IZC (INFRAZYGOMATIC) SCREWS
An advanced form of anchorage in the infrazygomatic crest of the upper jaw – stronger and more stable than conventional palatal mini-implants. Essential in severe Class II cases, deep bites requiring molar intrusion, or wherever particularly strong support is needed.
