Anchorage control is an important factor in the success of
orthodontic treatment. Anchorage, defined as a resistance to
unwanted tooth movement is a prerequisite for the orthodontic
treatment of dental and skeletal malocclusions.
Its role in orthodontic treatment was appreciated since the 18th
century. Angle realized the limitations of moving teeth against other
teeth used for anchorage, introducing ideas such as the use of
occipital, stationary, and occlusal anchorage.
According to Newton's third law of motion, every action has an
equal and opposite reaction, this means that inevitably some
anchorage loss occur as reaction to the activation forces during
orthodontic treatment
