Abstrakt: Orthognathic surgery offers a predictable treatment option for patients with skeletal discrepancies and corresponding dental malocclusions. In cases where surgery is not advised due to significant medical co-morbidity, the orthodontist must approach the treatment using different mechanical modalities. Orthodontic mini-implants can be a valuable adjunct in these cases. We describe a case where a palatal mini-implant was used during orthodontic treatment in a patient with a complex capillary malformation, which precluded surgical correction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
