Background: the use of mini implants as anchorage is a new technique used in orthodontics; although its use is very recent in Cuba. Case presentation: a 13 year old male white patient with neuromuscular balance, good intermaxillary relation and high negative discrepancy tooth bone, dental crowding and ectopic canines. Tooth extractions were made to align the upper and lower dental arches, which limited the traditional anchor. Mini implants were used in the molar zones for the maximum asymmetric anchorage requirement during the first stage of the treatment. There was no pain, swelling or other injury to the peri implant zone and managed to eliminate the discrepancy initial elevated negative tooth and its manifestations. It was obtained relationship of canines of neutroclusion and functional canine guides. Conclusions: the mini implants allowed the maximum asymmetrical anchorage to achieve a patient functional aesthetic occlusion.
