Kim SH et al. - Guidelines for safe placement are as follows: the initial point for mini-implant placement is near the mucogingival line (2-4 mm from the CEJ) and less than a 45° apical angulation to the long axis of tooth, with a mini-implant diameter of 1.4 to 1.8 mm and length of about 6 mm (bone contact). A larger placement angle would increase the cortical bone contact; however, it is difficult to apply various traction materials and might increase the danger of maxillary sinus perforation.
