Use of Dental Implants for Orthodontic Therapy: Discussion

Dental implants can now enable the orthodontist to provide treatment for cases that previously were untreatable or very difficult to treat. Implants can increase the efficiency and expediency of many kinds of orthodontic therapy. The use of implants for this purpose is growing very rapidly.

From your experience, are orthodontists placing their own implants or are oral surgeons placing these implants for them? How has this affected the fee structure? Have there been any complications reported for this kind of therapy? What do the patients think about this? Have there been any complications reported after removing the implants after the orthodontic therapy is completed?
