Effect of loaded orthodontic miniscrew implant on compressive stresses in adjacent periodontal ligament.

Assessment of alveolar bone properties is recommended when the use of MSI is intended, as some patients may present with strong bone properties and thereby a high risk of MSI-induced root resorption.
