Aims And Objectives

To update the orthodontist with the Current concepts of Self Ligation brackets plus Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) and it’s clinical application.

Content Outline

Molar distalization has been one of the most important goal in traditional orthodontic treatment. Headgear and all kinds of distalizer have been tried, one of the most famous example is Pendulum appliance, though at the beginning lots of spaces been created, but due to loss of anchorage it also creates large amount of anterior flaring, for solving the anterior flaring most of the spaces gained lost again, it means its so difficult to get net gain. Now with the advanced technology of combining TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices) and PSL (Passive Self Ligating Brackets), the net gain of distalization can be achieved easily. The reliable method of placing the TADs will be introduced and demonstrated with plenty of clinical application. Indeed TADs helped the orthodontic treatment of many difficult Class III cases which were thought to be very difficult or impossible to treat in traditional orthodontics, now become possible to treat. We will review most of the popular ways of using TADs to treat Class III to compare the simplicity and efficiency of current TADs on Class III treatment. The simple and efficient way of using the IZC (Infrazygomatic screw) and buccal shelf screw, including indications, details of screw placement, CBCT analysis of the screw position to avoid screw interference, will be presented with Class III cases treated with these methods.
