While effective, temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are not entirely immobile, as they may undergo minor displacement, typically less than 0.5 mm. To reduce the risk of unintended contact with adjacent anatomical structures, a safety margin of 2 mm--1 mm on each side of the implant--is generally recommended [19]. Consistent with this guideline, [PERSON] et al. emphasized that a minimum interdental width (IDW) of 3 mm is required to allow safe miniscrew placement [21]. The inadequate evaluation of interdental space may lead to root damage and other complications [7; 9; 15]. Although a mini-implant length exceeding 5 mm does not seem to have a significant effect on stability, research indicates that implant diameter plays a more critical role in achieving mechanical retention. In contrast to traditional dental implants that stabilize through osseointegration, an orthodontic MI depends on mechanical retention and may show slight mobility within the surrounding bone tissue [11]. Thorough radiographic assessment is essential for accurately determining anatomical conditions suitable for mini-implant placement and for ensuring the optimal biomechanical performance of TADs. Although orthopantomograms (OPGs) are widely used due to their broad availability, affordability, and ability to capture panoramic views of dental structures [22; 23], they present notable limitations. These include reduced precision in linear measurements and image distortion, both of which may impair diagnostic accuracy [24; 25]. [PERSON] et al. [22] demonstrated that cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) offers markedly better dimensional accuracy for assessing interdental regions. Their findings confirmed the value of CBCT in precisely evaluating interdental bone morphology--an essential aspect of safe TAD placement. In contrast, OPGs have been shown to underestimate critical measurements, potentially resulting in inaccurate estimations of bone width and root proximity [24; 25]. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) now serves as a cornerstone in modern orthodontic diagnostics, offering high-resolution, three-dimensional imaging of both dental and skeletal structures [26]. In contrast to traditional two-dimensional radiographs, CBCT provides a detailed visualization of bone density, interdental dimensions, and the spatial relationships of critical anatomical features such as dental roots and the nasopalatine canal (NPC) [27]. Such precision is essential in planning mini-implant placement, as the surrounding bone morphology greatly affects primary stability and helps minimize the risk of complications [19; 28; 29; 30]. Emerging research highlights CBCT as a reliable tool for precisely locating optimal sites for mini-implant placement, owing to its ability to generate cross-sectional images of both the labial and palatal aspects of the alveolar bone [19; 31]. [PERSON] et al. [32] demonstrated that CBCT significantly improves the accuracy of implant positioning, reduces the likelihood of root contact, and enhances initial stability. Other investigations [33; 34] have supported the use of CBCT data in identifying suitable interdental regions for TAD insertion. In addition, CBCT plays a vital role in diagnosing complex orthodontic anomalies--including skeletal malocclusions, compromised airways, and temporomandibular joint disorders--surpassing the diagnostic capacity of conventional imaging techniques [25]. Thanks to its high diagnostic accuracy and lower radiation dose compared to conventional CT, CBCT is widely regarded as the gold standard for orthodontic treatment planning. An additional advantage of CBCT lies in its application for creating patient-specific surgical guides, which assist clinicians in determining optimal mini-implant insertion sites in three dimensions. However, the use of such guides may involve greater financial costs, extended treatment times, and access to advanced equipment [34; 35].
