Popis:	The benefits of fibre-reinforced composite (FRC), such as strength, excellent bonding characteristics and aesthetics, are widely appreciated in restorative dentistry. These properties are well suited to the creation of orthodontic anchorage units in full-arch or sectional appliances. In this article, two clinical cases are presented where FRC has been used to create anchorage units in adult orthodontic patients with high aesthetic demands. Anchorage units created in this way are immediate, aesthetic, comfortable and require minimal unwanted tooth movement. Clinical Relevance: The article describes techniques that may be of interest to clinical orthodontists by describing a novel use for a material not commonly used in orthodontics.
