The use of Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) in orthodontics has become a global phenomenon, but adoption and acceptance vary widely depending on region, training, and patient demand. In countries like South Korea and Japan, TADs gained early popularity due to a strong emphasis on minimally invasive orthodontics and aesthetic outcomes. Clinicians in these regions were among the first to embrace TADs for complex cases such as open-bite correction, and their innovations in placement techniques have influenced global best practices. Similarly, Europe has seen steady adoption, with particular interest in research-driven approaches and integrating TADs into digital workflows.

Latin America is also experiencing rising use, with orthodontists adopting TADs as cost-effective alternatives to surgical interventions, driven by patient demand for less invasive treatments.

Globally, innovation continues to evolve with digital planning, CBCT-guided placement, and even 3D-printed guides enhancing precision and predictability. While cultural attitudes, healthcare systems, and access to advanced training influence how quickly TADs are adopted in different regions, one trend is clear: their role in orthodontics is expanding worldwide. As patient expectations grow for faster, more aesthetic, and less invasive treatments, the global orthodontic community is likely to continue pushing the boundaries of how TADs are applied and innovated across diverse settings.
