Ortho Anchorage Device

An orthodontic anchorage device (TAD – Temporary Anchorage Device) is a small, titanium screw that helps move teeth more efficiently during orthodontic treatment. It acts like a stable anchor in the jawbone, allowing us to shift specific teeth without affecting others. This can make treatments faster, more precise, and sometimes eliminate the need for headgear or extractions. The procedure to place a TAD is quick and comfortable, with minimal discomfort. Once the device has done its job, it’s easily removed, leaving no lasting effects.
