Correction of skeletal discrepancies using Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) in orthodontics involves addressing imbalances in the size and position of the upper and lower jaws. Skeletal discrepancies can lead to malocclusions (misalignments of the teeth and jaws) that may require complex orthodontic interventions. TADs provide additional anchorage, enhancing the orthodontist's ability to manage these cases.
It's important to note that the use of TADs for skeletal corrections requires careful treatment planning and coordination with other orthodontic appliances. The specific approach will vary based on the nature and severity of the skeletal discrepancy. Orthodontists use diagnostic tools such as cephalometric analysis, 3D imaging, and treatment simulations to develop comprehensive plans for skeletal correction using TADs in conjunction with other orthodontic techniques. This allows for a more precise and individualized approach to address each patient's unique skeletal characteristics.
