- Screws and Aligners
- TADs can provide a stable and efficient anchorage to facilitate bodily movements, such as forced eruption and mesialization that are particularly challenging for aligner treatment. They are also very effective in molar uprighting and impaction treatment. In this lecture various cases will be presented to illustrate how TADs can be incorporated in different stages of aligner treatment to transform challenging cases into easy ones by taking advantages of aligners’ strength in pushing and TADs in pulling. Aligners and TADs, a winning combination that you must learn to master.
