The Orthodontic Bone Anchor (OBA) System is intended to be implanted intraorally and used as an anchor for orthodontic procedures.  The OBA system includes screw anchors, plate anchors, instruments, and a module case for storage and sterilization.

Key Features & Benefits

• Manufactured from commercially pure (CP) titanium and titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-7Nb) for biocompatibility
• Provides fixed anchorage for improved control of tooth movement
• Compatible with a variety of orthodontic devices including archwires, elastics, and springs
• Allows immediate loading and eliminates the need for extra-oral anchorage (i.e. headgear)
• Plate anchors can be adapted to the patient’s bony anatomy

Applications

• Used as an anchor for orthodontic procedures

Contraindications

• When cortical bone is less than 5 mm thick, or when there is insufficient quantity or quality of bone
