contents <p>Orthodontic mini screws, widely used as temporary anchorage devices, require optimal biomechanical performance to ensure clinical stability and long-term success. The present study aims to develop and evaluate an optimized design of orthodontic mini screws through parametric analysis and finite element analysis (FEA). Critical design and material parameters, including thread geometry, screw diameter, material selection, and insertion characteristics, were systematically investigated to assess their influence on primary stability, stress distribution, and retention behavior. Linear static finite element simulations were carried out on both initial and optimized mini screw models fabricated from stainless steel 316L and titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V. The optimized design exhibited a notable reduction in von Mises stress, total deformation, and contact pressure at the bone–implant interface when compared with the initial configuration. Design modifications also addressed common clinical challenges such as high insertion resistance, early loosening, and the risk of premature failure under orthodontic loading conditions. The results demonstrate that geometric optimization, independent of material change, significantly enhances biomechanical efficiency and anchorage reliability. The outcomes of this study provide valuable insights for the development of safer, more stable, and clinically predictable orthodontic mini screws, supporting improved treatment outcomes and future design innovations.</p>
