Case report: In this case, the pre-existing osseointegrated implant in the region of element 21 was used as an auxiliary of skeletal anchorage for leveling the upper occlusal plane. This was performed with the straight wire technique, Capelozza prescription pattern I, .022” slot, using the sequence of thermal- -activated nickel-titanium arches of .014”, .016”, .017”X.025” and .019”X.025”, followed by the steel arch of .019” X.025”. Final considerations: The results presented in this report showed the osseointegrated implant as a good option when used as a resource of auxiliary anchorage in orthodontics, providing better comfort and aesthetic conditions to the treatment and simplifying the technique.67-72Meio digitalenAtribuição-NãoComercial-SemDerivados 3.0 BrasilFacial asymmetryOrthodonticsOrthodontic anchorage procedureOsseointegrated implant as an auxiliary of orthodontic leveling in case of asymmetric vertical skeletal discrepancy - case reportOsseointegrated implant as an auxiliary of orthodontic leveling in case of asymmetric vertical skeletal discrepancy – case reportArtigo completo publicado em periódico
