Arizona State Orthodontic Annual Meeting at The Talking Stick Resort and Casino

Topic: Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) offer a practical way to provide anchorage for various types of tooth movement. For instance, TADs and novel appliances are used to treat challenging cases to control vertical, sagittal, and transverse dimensions. Treatment outcomes will be discussed using pre- and post- treatment records, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Nowadays, clear aligners (CAs) and digital orthodontics are very popular. This presentation will also explore how TADs and CBCT can be used to facilitate orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, treatment simulation, and assessment of skeletal and dental changes along with CAs and digital orthodontics. Three learning objectives: Discuss clinical applications and biomechanical considerations of TADs and CAs; Describe vertical, sagittal, and transverse correction with TADs, CAs, and digital orthodontics; Evaluate pre- and post-treatment superimposed CBCT images when TADs have been used.
