Role of TADs:
Pre-Surgical Alignment: TADs are used to align teeth in preparation for orthognathic surgery, ensuring optimal occlusion and jaw alignment.
Post-Surgical Stabilization: They help maintain the positions of teeth and jaws post-surgery, facilitating healing and stabilization.
Complex Movements: TADs assist in achieving difficult movements such as molar intrusion or extrusion, critical in correcting severe skeletal discrepancies.
Clinical Applications:
Class III Malocclusions: TADs aid in the distalization of molars and retraction of anterior teeth, often in conjunction with surgical mandibular setback.
Open Bite Correction: They enable vertical control, allowing for the intrusion of posterior teeth and closure of anterior open bites without altering jaw position surgically.
