TEMPORARY ANCHORAGE DEVICES (TADs)
“My experience at Oliver Family Orthodontic was wonderful. Their facility is beautiful and relaxing. The staff is very friendly and professional. Both the doctors and the staff were concerned not only about the results of treatment, but also about my comfort. Everything was explained to me in a way I could easily understand, and finances were arranged in a way I could readily handle. Overall, I was made to feel like I was a human being, and not a ‘case’.” I give them my highest rating because I recommend them to all my friends and family.”
Sometimes, orthodontists recommend a small device to move teeth a tad more quickly. Temporary Anchorage Devices (also called TADs) are small titanium anchors used in conjunction with braces and serve as an alternative to headgear. TADs are:
- Placed through the gum tissue and into the jawbone, following a strong anesthetic.
- Applied quickly and feel undetectable within a day.
- Easily cleaned.
- Comfortably removed when treatment is complete.
