How long you will need a TAD depends on the problem that your orthodontist is correcting. A patient usually does not require a TAD for longer than a few months. Again, though, this depends largely on your specific issue. Your orthodontist will be able to give you an idea of how long you’ll need the TAD.
If you’re considering braces, it’s likely that you may need at least one temporary anchorage device. Contact Orthodontists Associates of Western New York today to arrange your free screening.
