Abstract

In modern orthodontic treatment, the use of TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices) represents a fundamental resource to simplify some complex biomechanical dynamics. Their use allows to significantly reduce treatment times, minimize unwanted movements and improve the effectiveness of the applied forces. Thanks to the integration of the digital workflow, today it is possible to precisely plan the insertion of miniscrews using 3D guidance systems, increasing the reliability and safety of the procedures. During the meeting, several clinical cases will be analyzed that illustrate the potential of TADs in various therapeutic contexts. Particular attention will be paid to sharing practical tricks and tips to optimize the use of miniscrews: from the choice of the ideal insertion site, to the management of complications, up to the maximization of biomechanical effectiveness. The goal is to provide concrete tools and operational strategies that can be immediately applied in daily practice.
