Opis

Mini implants, also known as temporary anchorage devices (TADs), are small screw-like devices that are temporarily anchored into the jawbone to provide additional support during orthodontic treatment. Mini implants are usually made of titanium, which is a biocompatible material that allows the implant to fuse with the bone.Mini implants have become increasingly popular in orthodontic treatment because they can provide additional anchorage without relying on the patient's teeth for support. This allows orthodontists to move teeth more effectively, with fewer side effects such as root resorption or anchorage loss.Mini implants are typically placed in the jawbone using a minimally invasive procedure that is done under local anesthesia. Once the mini implant is in place, the orthodontist can attach wires or other orthodontic appliances to it, which can be used to move teeth into the desired position.One of the advantages of mini implants is that they can be placed in a variety of locations in the mouth, including areas where traditional orthodontic appliances cannot be anchored.
