Description
In treatment of class II malocclusion the temporary anchorage device (TAD) is a highly effective appliance, which can be easily placed and managed by orthodontists. A simple method for class II correction with TAD will be introduced for efficient molar distalization with a near-bodily movement. Scientific evidence will be discussed in the area of broad indications for non-extraction method assisted by TAD. Also, a creative and innovative approach for Class II correction using plate will be illustrated including biomechanics and guidelines for practical use. In addition, use of a new improved jig system for more accurate plate placement will be presented.
Learning Objectives:
-
Introduce a simple method for class II correction with TAD.
-
Broaden indication for non-extraction method.
-
Influence maxillary distalization mechanics on the 3rd molar development.
