Abstract

Introduction: Micro-implants are small elements used in Orthodontics to correct malocclusions. They can be inserted into different anatomical areas within the oral cavity, including the palate, which is the primary focus of this work. Micro-implants serve the purpose of providing temporary anchorage reinforcement, being easily removed after fulfilling their function. (1, 2, 3, 4) Objective: The objective of this literature review is to identify the recommended areas for placing micro-implants in the palate. Materials and Methods: In order to elaborate this bibliographic review, search engines such as PubMed, Google Academic, ScienceDirect, SciELO, and Scopus were used, considering articles within the last seven years, whether they are bibliographic reviews, original articles in Spanish and English. Conclusions: The further posterior the palate area, the thinner the thickness of the palate and, therefore, the higher the risk of failure.
