Reaction to the force application is observed in the clinical scenarios as anchorage loss, which is the unwanted movement of the teeth. A plethora of approaches have been developed over time in orthodontics to overcome anchorage loss. These approaches are termed anchorage reinforcement procedures. Anchorage loss refers to the unintended movement or shifting of teeth that are intended to remain stable and serve as anchoring points during orthodontic treatment. This loss of stability can occur in various dimensions, including horizontal, vertical, or transverse, and can result in undesired changes to the overall positioning and alignment of teeth. Anchorage can be termed as conventional intraoral anchorage which usually leads to significant anchorage loss. The conventional extraoral anchorage such as headgear suffers from the issue of compliance.
