Abstract: Objective    To investigate the clinical effects of orthodontic microimplant nail  to suppress maxillary supra-erupted molar.   Methods   Twenty-five patients needed to depress and elongate molar (subsequent implantation and restoration) were selected. Mirco-implant nails were used to bone the over-long molars on palatal and buccal sides. Lateral cephalograms were taken at the beginning and the end of the treatment for cephalometric analysis and comparison.   Results    The supra-erupted molars of 25 patients were all successfully intruded with the average suppression depth of (2.52±0.76) mm, and the average duration of treatment was (5.7±2.8) months.   Conclusions     It is a simple and effective orthodontic method to lower the supra-erupted molar with a micro-implant nail, which can provide a position for the implanted restoration of long-term missing teeth.
