Published: October 2020

Controlled movement of teeth is both a science and an art that relies on applied forces and anchoring or resistance points. The temporary anchorage device (TAD) is a mini-implant that is used as an anchoring point. Applied to appropriate cases with optimal technique, TAD can enhance results. This article discusses the considerations behind increasing longevity of an implant in use and improving its success. Such considerations include implant placement, time before loading, amount of loading, and patient habits.

Article Synopsis
  • A case report highlights the orthodontic treatment of a 26-year-old woman with severe scissor bite using temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and fixed braces.
  • TADs were utilized to intrude extruded molars, correct dental midline, control molar inclination, and enhance overall dental relationships.
  • The successful treatment not only resolved the scissor bite but also improved the patient's occlusal function and facial aesthetics, with CBCT imaging recommended for effective three-dimensional treatment planning.

Combined anterior and posterior miniscrews increase apical root resorption of maxillary incisors in protrusion and premolar extraction cases.

Korean J Orthod

State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases, National Center for Stomatology, National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, Department of Orthodontics, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.

Objective: Miniscrews are commonly utilized as temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in cases of maxillary protrusion and premolar extraction. This study aimed to investigate the effects and potential side effects of two conventional miniscrew configurations on the maxillary incisors.

Methods: Eighty-two adult patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion who had undergone bilateral first premolar extraction were retrospectively divided into three groups: non-TAD, two posterior miniscrews only (P-TADs), and two anterior and two posterior miniscrews combined (AP-TADs).

This article outlines the orthodontic treatment of a 21-year-old female patient with an open bite and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) that developed after a severe car accident. The treatment plan utilized temporary anchorage devices (TADs) for upper molar intrusion to correct the open bite without resorting to orthognathic surgery. Over a period of 3 years, the treatment achieved a stable occlusion, normalized molar relationships, and improved esthetics.

In this case report, we show a strategic approach to prolonging the lifespan of pathologically migrated maxillary canines with a hopeless prognosis in a 57-year-old female patient, highlighting the potential of orthodontic management for middle-aged patients to enhance both occlusion and facial esthetics while minimizing the need for extensive prosthetic treatment. According to the visual treatment objective, the nonextraction treatment plan showed advantages in the type of orthodontic tooth movement and final occlusal relationship. Therefore, considering the favorable periodontal treatment results and single-root teeth, the hopelessly migrated maxillary canines were relocated, eliminating the existing trauma from occlusion.
