Abstract

Temporary anchorage devices have proven to be a useful armamentarium for dentists and orthodontists throughout the world. Now, cases which initially believed to be a surgical one can the without surgery with results as equivalent to the one that would have first-year with University by using temporary anchorage devices. I will be showing a University case where surgery was one of the options provided to the patient but ultimately treated without surgery with the use of TADs. Interestingly, the same 6mm TADs were used first in the lower anterior segment for intrusion and later in the upper posterior a for retraction of anterior segment as the patient was reluctant to use new sets of TADs (8mm) because of financial issues. The dramatic change in facial esthetics and function obtained by the use of TADs resulted in the patient.
