<italic>Aim</italic>: To describe the use of Straumann Orthosystem implants for orthodontic anchorage.
<italic>Methods</italic>: The Straumann Orthosystem consists of a titanium palatal implant and connected device, which can be used when absolute anchorage is required. In the present study the implant was placed in the midline at the junction of the alveolar process and hard palate. The implant was osseointegrated 13 weeks after placement. A palatal arch attached to the implant and upper first molar bands was used to provide stationary anchorage in a 23 year-old female with protruding upper anterior teeth and moderate crowding of both arches.
<italic>Conclusion</italic>: A palatal implant provides stationary anchorage for retraction of anterior maxillary teeth.
