for an appointment.What Are Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADS)?
Temporary anchorage devices, or TADS, are mini-screws that orthodontists place in the mouth to help direct tooth movement. They are useful for situations where the orthodontist wants to move some teeth but keep others in their prior positions.
TADS are made of a biocompatible titanium alloy. Orthodontists can use them on their own or combined with braces.
Benefits of Temporary Anchorage Devices
Alternative to Headgear
Easily Removable
Facilitate Faster Orthodontic Treatment
Are You a Good Candidate for TADS?
TADS can help move teeth into gaps created by missing teeth. They can straighten molars which are difficult to move. If you have an overbite or underbite, TADS can help the orthodontist treat these conditions without jaw surgery.
TADS can move impacted permanent teeth and anchor other orthodontic structures.
