Abstract
The advent of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) has enabled orthodontic clinicians to accomplish profound clinical solutions that were deemed inconceivable with traditional anchorage modalities. Various types of complex malocclusions can now be successfully treated using TADs. This chapter outlines some contemporary clinical applications for TADs to treat various orthodontic problems, such as corrections in anteroposterior, vertical, and transverse dimensions. In the anteroposterior dimension, typical treatment objectives include mesialization or distalization of a single tooth, multiple teeth, or maxillary/mandibular total arches. In the vertical dimension, the main applications of TADs for correcting anterior open bite are either intrusion of the posterior teeth or extrusion of the anterior teeth. During corrections in transverse dimension, bone‐anchored expanders with TADs or hybrid types are used for applying direct force to the maxillary bone to overcome the limitations of the tooth‐borne expanders. The chapter also outlines the progress in TAD‐related research and potential future directions for TADs.
