Background: The temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are presently a viable and popular treatment option for orthodontics all over the world. However, there is a lack of investigation and research on its application among orthodontists in China. This study aims to explore factors influencing temporary anchorage devices usage and compare current perspectives and usage patterns between orthodontic specialists and general dentists, thereby establishing new consensus and guiding future improvements.
Methods: A cross-sectional study using a multi-center structured questionnaire was designed. The Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, and logistic regression were performed.
Results: Respondents were from 30 provincial-level regions. Most doctors had relatively rich clinical experience in orthodontics, with 65.70% working for over 10 years. Respondents reported a relatively high usage rate (87.54%) and satisfaction with TADs (93.85%). The analysis result showed Chinese orthodontists who received more TADs training (P < 0.01), had higher educational attainment (P < 0.01), and used more clear aligners (P < 0.01) tended to use TADs more frequently. About 95.90% of respondents believed TADs helped achieve higher treatment goals, 68.23% agreed they could shorten treatment duration, and 51.82% believed they reduced the probability of orthodontic-orthognathic treatment. Differences in the understanding of indications for TADs, improvement method of TADs can be observed between orthodontic specialists and general dentists (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Chinese orthodontists were relatively active in using TADs. The factors most closely associated with TAD usage included related training, the type of orthodontic appliances used and the highest educational attainment. Orthodontic specialists and general dentists might had differing perspectives regarding TADs, but they tended to follow similar management procedures.

Key Clinical Message: Temporary Anchorage Devices-supported molar intrusion can be an effective non-surgical alternative for treating Class II anterior open bite in skeletally mature patients, resulting in an improved occlusal relationship and enhanced chin projection through forward autorotation of the mandible.
Abstract: Temporary Anchorage Devices are titanium alloy miniscrews utilized to provide maximum orthodontic anchorage during the correction of various malocclusions. This case report examined the use of TADs to support posterior intrusion while correcting a patient's Class II anterior open bite malocclusion in support of the patient's request to avoid surgical intervention.
Patients' Perceptions and Success Rate of Temporary Anchorage Devices After the Immediate and Delayed Loading of Orthodontic Mini-Implants-Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: The search for an ideal anchorage during orthodontic treatment resulted in the invention of Orthodontic Mini Implants (OMIs) that do not require patient's cooperation. In spite of their common use in orthodontics, there is a lack of studies regarding patients' perceptions of OMIs after their immediate and delayed loading.
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the pain and discomfort experienced by patients following the placement of orthodontic mini-implants and immediate loading with delayed loading, and to evaluate their success rate to formulate a definite clinical protocol for loading of the orthodontic mini-implants.

Objective The objective of this study is to determine the optimal location for placing the Ramal implant and assess the maximum transverse width of the ramal bone and the proximity of the implant to the inferior alveolar canal (IAC) through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Materials and methods The CBCT scans of 30 patients were utilized in this study and its proximity to the IAC at different vertical heights (3, 5, and 7 mm) and four angles of insertion (0°, 10°, 15°, and 20°). The maximum transverse width of the ramus and the proximity to the IAC from the site of insertion were measured at three different vertical levels.

Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have evolved as useful anchorage providers for orthodontic tooth movements. To improve the stability of TADs, a number of modifications on their surface have been developed and investigated. This review comprehensively summarizes recent findings of clinically applied surface modifications of TADs and compared the biological improvement of these modifications.

Background: Hydrostatic pressure in the periodontal ligament (PDL) plays a critical role in orthodontic treatment, influencing tooth movement and remodeling of periodontal tissue. The relationship between alveolar cortical bone density and the risk of root resorption due to excessive stress in the PDL has not been clearly defined.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze hydrostatic pressure in the periodontal ligament of the tooth roots during en-masse retraction of the maxillary incisors using temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TISADs) after the first premolar extractions, as well as during full arch retraction.
