Q

Define the following types of anchorage

Reciprocal

Reinforced

Stationary

Cortical

Skeletal

A

Reciprocal - teeth pulling towards each other

Reinforced - multiple teeth being used as anchors

Stationary - using a tooth that needs to translate as an anchor

Cortical - thick bone from a previously extracted tooth is difficult for a tooth to move through

Skeletal - head gear
