Using Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) reduces the number of orthodontic appointments primarily because they provide stable, fixed anchorage that eliminates the need for frequent adjustments. Traditional orthodontic methods often require continuous monitoring and modifications to account for unwanted reciprocal movements, patient compliance issues, or shifting anchorage points. Since TADs allow for direct force application without affecting surrounding teeth, orthodontists can achieve planned movements more predictably, reducing the need for frequent check-ups and realignments.

Additionally, TADs minimize reliance on patient compliance, which is a major factor in prolonged treatment. Traditional appliances like elastics or headgear require consistent patient cooperation, and missed wear time often results in slower progress and additional appointments for re-evaluation and corrections. With TADs providing a constant and controlled force, tooth movement remains steady and efficient, allowing for longer intervals between visits without compromising progress.

Lastly, TADs streamline complex tooth movements that traditionally take longer to achieve using conventional mechanics. For example, molar intrusion, distalization, and space closure can be completed faster with TADs, reducing the number of phases required in treatment. Since fewer modifications and auxiliary appliances are needed, orthodontic treatments become more efficient, leading to fewer overall appointments while still achieving optimal results in a shorter timeframe.
