Abstract

Temporary anchorage devices have become a mainstay of contemporary clinical practice, offering guaranteed control of anchorage for both routine and complex tooth movements. This course will outline some of the more common TADs in use today and show their placement from first principles. It will also discuss the differences when selecting them for conventional fixed orthodontic appliances and aligners. The anatomy of placement sites will be discussed, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of these sites. Simple direct and indirect mechanics will be shown to facilitate controlled tooth movements in the sagittal, transverse, and vertical dimensions.

The hands-on component of the course will require participants to practice placing TADs in different sites and work through the steps of making a mini-screw retained orthodontic appliance.
