Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) are particularly beneficial in the following types of orthodontic treatments:
Space Closure: TADs are ideal for closing large gaps between teeth, especially in cases of missing teeth or extraction spaces, without causing unwanted movement of adjacent teeth.
Molar Intrusion: For patients with open bites, TADs can be used to intrude molars, helping to close the bite more effectively than traditional methods.
Canine Retraction: TADs are effective in retracting impacted or ectopic canines, allowing for precise control and positioning of the teeth.
Bite Correction: TADs are useful in correcting deep bites and open bites by providing stable anchorage for vertical tooth movements.
Asymmetry Correction: In cases of dental or skeletal asymmetry, TADs can help to move teeth in specific directions to achieve better facial symmetry.
Distalization: TADs are used to move molars backward (distalization), creating space in the arch to correct crowding or prepare for other tooth movements.
Anterior Retraction: TADs can be used to retract the anterior (front) teeth without causing forward movement of the molars, making them ideal for cases involving protrusion of the front teeth.
Orthodontic Preparations for Surgery: TADs can assist in aligning the teeth before orthognathic surgery, ensuring the surgical outcome is as successful as possible.
