Miniplates

Mini plates, or miniplates, are small metal devices used by oral surgeons to help fix or support bones in the face, especially the jaw. They are permanently or temporarily attached to bone using tiny screws, providing stability for fractures, reconstructive surgery, or tooth alignment. Miniplates are less invasive than traditional larger plates, often resulting in faster healing and less discomfort. They are designed to be discreet and are usually made of biocompatible materials like titanium, ensuring they do not cause adverse reactions while maintaining the structural integrity needed for proper healing.
