Critical issues concerning biocreative strategy in contemporary temporary skeletal anchorage device orthodontics: A...

Biocreative Orthodontic Strategy (BOS) is designed to establish a physiologically stable occlusion in harmony with masticatory and TMJ function and healthy supporting tissues with strategic use of temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs). This narrative review surveys current research that demonstrates how BOS with TSADs uses a target approach to overcome the limitations experienced with conventional orthodontic treatment. A narrative review article including research on TSADs orthodontics in the permanent dentition. This review is a brief survey of five BOS principles for contemporary TSAD orthodontics: elegant selection of TSADs, bracket prescription to enhance TSAD orthodontics, antero-posterior dimension control, transverse dimension control and airway control issues. Severe malocclusion and craniofacial dysmorphology can be treated with Biocreative Orthodontic Strategy with a minimum number of TSADs. In order to achieve successful treatment outcome using TSADs, it is critical to understand the key diagnosis and treatment principles of BOS and how to develop a target approach for the tooth and bone movement.
