Lecture Description
Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) offer a practical way to provide anchorage for various types of tooth movement. For instance, TADs and novel appliances are used to treat challenging cases to control vertical, sagittal, and transverse dimensions. Treatment outcomes will be discussed using pre- and post-treatment records, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Nowadays, clear aligners (CAs) are very popular. This presentation will explore how TADs, CA, and CBCT can be used to facilitate orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, treatment simulation, and assessment of skeletal and dental changes.
Three learning objectives:
- Discuss clinical applications and biomechanical considerations of TADs and CAs;
- Describe vertical, sagittal, and transverse correction with TAD and CAs;
- Evaluate pre- and post-treatment superimposed CBCT images after TADs have been used
