Conservation of anchorage in totality has been perennial problem to traditional orthodontist. Traditionally, orthodontists have used teeth, intraoral appliances, and extraoral appliances, to control anchorage minimizing the movement of certain teeth, while completing the desired movement of other teeth. However, according to Newton's third law of motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Thus, there are limitations in our ability to completely control all aspects of tooth movement. For example, we often have inadequate mechanical systems to control anchorage, which leads to anchorage loss of reactive units and often incomplete correction of intra-and interarch alignment problems. For long time, orthodontist have struggled to achieve efficient control of anchorage and always dreamt of a device, which could provide absolute anchorage .This dream came true with the advent of implant. Implant has burst onto the clinical orthodontic scene in order to assist the orthodontist in controlling tooth movement. Orthodontic implants or temporary anchorage device (TAD) are temporarily fixed to bone for the purpose of enhancing orthodontic anchorage either by supporting the teeth of the reactive unit or by obviating the need for the reactive unit altogether, and which is subsequently removed after use. This article has systemized the information about types of implants and their advantages in respect of traditional treatments for all the readers.
