Molar Intrusion & Upright Using Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs)

When a patient has space due to missing tooth, teeth tend to tip into the space of the same arch and super-erupted from the opposite arch.  It is not ideal for the restorative dentist.  In this case, patient had space due to #30 extracted for a long time, #31 was tipped mesially and #29 was tipped distally.  #3 was super-erupted into the lower space.  We use TADs to intrude the super-erupted upper molar & upright lower molar. It establishes ideal space for implant restoration.
