ABSTRACT:
Anchor apparatus for orthodontic appliances for moving a molar or the like. A first anchor is attached to the cortical bone adjacent to one side of the molar. The first anchor is elongated and has an outer head portion for attachment to an orthodontic appliance, and an inner threaded portion in engagement with the cortical bone. A second anchor is disposed on the side of the molar opposite to the one side. The second anchor has an outer head portion for attachment to an orthodontic appliance and is attached to the first anchor. The second anchor also may have an inner threaded portion in engagement with the cortical bone. The first and second anchors are substantially longitudinally aligned with each other to minimize the space taken up by the anchors adjacent to the molar.
