Abstract

Objectives: Mini-Screws, TADs and other Anchorage Devices like IZC "Infra-Zygomatic Crest" Mini-implants have changed the orthodontic practice drastically. When starting the Mini-implants decades ago at the beginning of the 21st century, the practice, treatments and anchorage scheming have been carried to a new era and to a new juncture. In this article the author discusses how TADs modify the orthodontic treatments in planning, biomechanics and even in the time consuming. Presenting the lowdown, zeroing in on and fleshing out the modifications in the treatment plans citing examples of cases include: Gummy Smile Treatments, Scissors-bite and Occlusal Cants where TADs fending off sufficiently. Material and Methods: The author is clarifying the preponderance of evidences about how the Mini-screws techniques change the biomechanics in Orthodontics. The article focuses on the following cases of: - Gummy Smiles and the Role of TADs in their treatments. - Crossbites & Scissors-bites and how the Temporary Anchorage Devices have changes their sequence of treatments. - Impacted Teeth Treatment Developments by TADs and how the TADs improved the quality of treatments penned up previously the be tediously lingered. - Occlusal Cants "Pitch, Roll & Yaw"; where TADs are playing eventually a quintessential role in their treatments. Results: The Cases treated by author with TADs Techniques Modifications tap into the potentials of that promising domain of Orthodontics. Conclusion: TADs have helped in the improvement of the Treatments qualities, they need modifications of the treatment notions ad hoc. In plethora of cases the Temporary Anchorage Devices become a niche in the treatment quality and timing.
