Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) reduce the need for tooth extractions in orthodontic treatments by providing stable and independent anchorage, enabling orthodontists to create space and achieve desired tooth movements without removing teeth. Traditionally, extractions were often required to alleviate crowding, retract anterior teeth, or correct bite discrepancies. With TADs, orthodontists can apply targeted forces to move teeth into optimal positions, such as distalizing molars or retracting anterior teeth, effectively creating space within the dental arch without resorting to extractions.
