Most orthodontists and residency programs use temporary anchorage devices (TADs), primarily for anterior en masse retraction. This survey reveals current trends in TAD utilization among US practitioners and programs.

Area of Science:

Orthodontics
Dental Implants
Biomaterials

Background:

Limited data exists on current temporary anchorage device (TAD) usage in orthodontics.
Understanding contemporary practices is crucial for advancing orthodontic treatment.
Temporary anchorage devices offer innovative solutions for complex orthodontic cases.

Purpose of the Study:

To survey orthodontic providers regarding their current use of temporary anchorage devices (TADs).
To compare TAD utilization between graduate orthodontic residencies and private practitioners in the United States.
To identify trends and differences in TAD application and anesthetic choices.

Main Methods:

A 15-question survey was distributed to 61 accredited orthodontic residencies and an equal number of private practitioners.

Surveys collected data on TAD placement, anesthetic preferences, loading protocols, and common applications.

Response rates were analyzed for both private practitioners (63.9%) and residency programs (70.4%).

Main Results:

The majority of both residency programs (82.9%) and practitioners (69.2%) reported placing TADs.
TADs were used in approximately 5-6% of patients treated by both groups.
Anterior en masse retraction was the most frequent application, with immediate loading reported by most providers.

Conclusions:

Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are widely incorporated into orthodontic practice and residency curricula.
Both mini-implants and miniplates are poised to significantly influence orthodontics for years.
This survey provides valuable insights into current TAD utilization trends and practitioner/residency differences.
