A Game-Changer in Anchorage Control

Orthodontic treatment has evolved significantly over the years, and anchorage control remains a key factor in treatment success. PSM BENEfit Screws—a trusted solution in temporary anchorage—offer predictable results, simplified mechanics, and greater control for clinicians. Whether you're treating complex malocclusions or seeking alternatives to traditional anchorage methods, BENEfit screws provide unmatched versatility and stability.

What Are PSM BENEfit Screws?

PSM BENEfit Screws are miniature titanium anchorage screws used as temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in orthodontic treatment. Developed by PSM Medical Solutions, these screws are designed for intraoral use, providing a stable and minimally invasive anchorage point without relying on patient compliance or extraoral devices.

Key Features:

• Made from biocompatible titanium

• Self-drilling and self-tapping design

• Available in multiple lengths and diameters

• Designed for safe placement in alveolar bone

• Compatible with a wide range of auxiliary parts (springs, hooks, tubes)

Advantages of Using PSM BENEfit Screws in Orthodontics

✅ 1. Maximum Anchorage Control

Unlike traditional anchorage methods (e.g., headgear or intraoral elastics), BENEfit screws offer absolute anchorage. Tooth movement is achieved without reciprocal movements that compromise treatment outcomes.

✅ 2. Minimally Invasive

Screws are small in diameter (1.6 mm or 2.0 mm) and require no surgical flap, allowing for chairside placement under local anesthesia. This simplifies the process and improves patient comfort.

✅ 3. Flexible Placement Options

Can be placed in:

• Interradicular areas (between teeth)

• Palatal zones

• Buccal cortical bone

• Retromolar areas

This makes them highly adaptable for various treatment plans.

✅ 4. Removable After Treatment

Once tooth movement is complete, the screw can be easily removed without any lasting effect on the surrounding bone or tissue.

✅ 5. Reduced Need for Patient Compliance

Since anchorage is provided by the screw itself, it eliminates reliance on patient-worn devices like elastics or headgear—leading to more predictable results.

BENEfit System Components

The PSM BENEfit System is modular, allowing clinicians to customize it for specific treatment needs:

• Screws (in different lengths and diameters)

• Hooks, springs, and connecting tubes

• Transfer caps for precise positioning

• Driver and placement tools designed for efficient chairside use

All components are designed to integrate seamlessly for maximum clinical efficiency.

FAQs About PSM BENEfit Screws

Q: Are BENEfit screws suitable for all patients?
A: Most adolescent and adult patients are candidates, but proper imaging and bone assessment are required before placement.

Q: How long can the screws remain in place?
A: Typically, they remain for 6–12 months, depending on the treatment phase.

Q: Is screw placement painful?
A: Placement is done under local anesthesia and is generally quick and well-tolerated by patients.

The PSM BENEfit Screw System offers orthodontists a reliable, efficient, and patient-friendly anchorage solution. With growing demand for shorter treatment times and predictable outcomes, incorporating TADs like BENEfit screws into your practice can significantly enhance clinical capabilities.
