temporary anchorage devices

  • Temporary anchorage devices (TADs), also known as mini-implants, are small, screw-like dental implants that function to provide a stable anchorage when achieving teeth movement.      
  • What are the benefits of TADs?
    • TADs provide a solid, fixed anchorage point for a pushing or pulling force without the need to use teeth as anchors.
    • Shortened treatment time
    • Possible avoidance of oral surgeries in treatment of challenging cases
    • Reduced need to wear rubber bands.

Dr. Cristina Lee walked me step by step of what I needed to get done first.  I was extremely nervous and scared for my first ever root canal but Dr. Lee exceeded my expectations of a dentist and helped me feel relaxed by telling me what she was gonna do and gently numbed my tooth. The procedure was done before I knew it!
