This article addresses the management of dental implants in joint orthodontic-restorative cases, emphasising the role of temporary skeletal anchorage devices and interdisciplinary treatment. Focused on complex malocclusions that require dental implants, the article navigates through critical aspects such as diagnosis, treatment planning, implant positioning challenges and the strategic role of temporary skeletal anchorage devices in cases with compromised anchorage. Effective communication, collaborative efforts and strategic planning are highlighted in determining optimal implant numbers, locations and timing of placement. A collaborative, strategic approach to managing the complexities of joint orthodontic-restorative cases involving dental implants is recommended.
