Background: The introduction of orthodontic miniscrews for anchorage control made the force application for different orthodontic treatment approaches easier and increased their effectiveness. Some problems may occur during miniscrews use, such as inflammation of soft tissue around the implant, mobility, and failure.Aim: This review paper focuses on the peri-implant disease and the use of nanotechnology to solve this problem and increase the orthodontic miniscrew success rate.Methodology: Electronic searching was performed until 2024 articles in PubMed, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar by using the keywords (miniscrew, mini-implant, peri-implant health, peri-implantitis, peri implant mucositis, and antimicrobial nanoparticles); and fifty-nine articles are selected, exclusion criteria are articles that are unpublished and web pages.Conclusions: Microorganisms colonization around the implant cause peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis is the most common cause responsible for miniscrew failure. Nanoparticles work as potent antimicrobial agents to enhance peri-implant health. Nanoparticles increase miniscrew stability by facilitating rapid bone formation around the implant.
