Biomechanics and TADs to Manage Complex Orthodontic Problems
Application of TADs has changed the way we practice now in Orthodontics. We can treat difficult and complex patients with ease. It has also helped us accelerate orthodontic treatment time by minimizing side effects. This presentation will describe my experience with and without TADs with application of biomechanics principles.
