Mini dental implants (MDIs) and temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are small, temporary fixtures providing stable points to help move teeth. Unlike replacement implants, orthodontic MDIs and TADs enable complex tooth movements often unachievable with braces or aligners alone, leading to more efficient treatment and better results.

Comprehensive Consultation & Assessment
Dr. Vinay Kumar will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays and 3D scans if necessary, to determine if MDIs or TADs are the optimal solution for your specific orthodontic needs.
Precise Placement
The mini implant or TAD is carefully and gently placed in the predetermined location under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
Integration with Your Treatment Plan
Once stable, the MDI or TAD will be integrated with your braces or aligner system to provide the necessary anchorage for targeted tooth movement.
Careful Monitoring
Your progress will be closely monitored during regular appointments to ensure the MDIs or TADs are functioning effectively and that your treatment is on track.
Simple Removal (for TADs)
TADs are typically removed once they have served their purpose. This is a straightforward and comfortable procedure. MDIs may be removed or, in some cases, remain in place if they can offer long-term benefits.
| Feature | Mini Implants/TADs | Traditional Anchorage |
|---|---|---|
| Anchorage Stability | High; provides a fixed point | Variable; relies on teeth or other structures |
| Control of Tooth Movement | Precise and predictable | Less precise, may have unwanted movement |
| Treatment Complexity | Can treat more complex cases | Limited in complex cases |
| Patient Compliance | Minimal; does not rely on patient cooperation | May require significant patient cooperation (e.g., headgear) |
| Treatment Time | Can potentially shorten treatment time | May require longer treatment time |
| Need for Headgear | Often reduces or eliminates the need for headgear | May require headgear in some cases |
| Invasiveness | Minimally invasive procedure | Can involve more complex appliances |
Smiles Transformed, Confidence Restored – Real Stories from Happy Patients!
Mini Implants, or TADs, are tiny, temporary titanium screws placed in the jaw to provide a stable anchor. They allow Dr. Vinay Kumar to apply precise forces, moving teeth more efficiently and predictably than with braces alone.
No, placement is very comfortable. The area is numbed with local anesthetic, so you’ll only feel light pressure. Any mild discomfort afterwards is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
TADs are temporary and remain only as long as needed for your specific tooth movements, typically a few months up to a year. They are easily removed once treatment progresses.
Maintain good oral hygiene by gently brushing around the implant site with a soft brush. We may recommend a specific mouthwash. Our team will provide detailed, easy-to-follow instructions.
TADs are considered for patients needing complex tooth movements or to avoid certain appliances like headgear. Dr. Vinay Kumar will determine if they are right for your case during your consultation.
