ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an orthodontic anchor system for controlling or altering the position of teeth, which is comprised of an anchor for selective attachment to a palate, a transpalatal member having a first and second end, where either the first end is attached to the anchor and the second end is attached to a tooth or teeth, or the first and second end are each respectively attached to a tooth or teeth and a center portion of the transpalatal member is attached to the anchor, and a stress breaker that is included either within the transpalatal member or between the anchor and transpalatal member. The anchor can be comprised of one or more dental implants or subperiosteal implants with the transpalatal member either attached directly thereto, or the stress breaker is directly attached thereto and also attached to the transpalatal member. The stress breaker is preferably comprised of a biasing element or a spring. The system alternatively includes one or more bands which slidably secure about a tooth and to which an end of the transpalatal member selectively attaches.
