Improve a Gummy Smile Patient by Using Temporary Anchorage Devices

Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) are mini titanium screws that are temporarily inserted in alveolar bone for additional anchorage.  It will be removed when the treatment objectives are achieved.  It can be useful in challenged cases where it is almost impossible to achieve with traditional braces alone.  Shown here is a patient with a severe gummy smile who is treated with braces in conjunction with TADs.
