Popis: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of using micro-implant anchorage (MIA) to rotate the functional occlusal plane (FOP) counterclockwise. METHODS: Forty skeletal class Ⅱ high-angle patients who had completed orthodontic treatment were enrolled, including 20 patients treated with MIA orthodontic system (MIA group) and the other 20 patients treated with traditional sliding straight wire appliance (control group). Cephalometric measurements on the lateral cranial radiographs before and after treatment were performed, all acquired data were statistically analyzed with SPSS 26.0. RESULTS: At the end of treatment, MIA group obtained better effect of FOP and mandibular plane counter-clockwise rotation than the control group. In the MIA group, the average change of FOP-frankfort horizontal plane (FH), FOP-SN and mandibular plane angle (MP-FH) angle was –4.5(–7.3, –3.7)°, (–4.6±3.3)° and –1.7(–3.0, –0.9)°, respectively. In the control group, the average change of FOP-FH, FOP-SN and MP-FH angle was –0.1(–4.1, 3.0)°, (–0.1±5.1)° and –0.4(–2.4, 0.7)°, respectively. There was significant difference between the change of the two groups (all P
