Abstract
Anchorage control plays a crucial role in orthodontic treatment. When moving certain teeth into their desired position, it is essential to prevent any unintended movement of the teeth that are meant to remain in place. Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are a significant advancement in modern orthodontics, providing a stable and reliable anchorage point for tooth movement. This review aims to discuss the types, clinical applications, benefits, and limitations of TADs, providing a comprehensive understanding of their role in contemporary orthodontic practice. The use of TADs enhances the precision and efficiency of orthodontic treatments, leading to faster results and improved patient comfort.
