Dentoalveolar anomalies and deformities in adolescence significantly violate the functions of breathing, chewing, swallowing and speech. The aim of the study was to improve the methods of treatment of dentoalveolar anomalies and deformities with the use of mini-screws. 26 children of Stavropol aged from 12 to 17 years with dentoalveolar anomalies and deformities were taken for treatment. According to the severity of the pathology of the dentition, all patients were divided into 3 groups: Depending on the severity of the pathology and the age of the patients, orthodontic treatment with removable and fixed devices using mini-screws was carried out. In all three groups of children with dentoalveolar deformities, we note the high role of mini-screws as a fulcrum.
