Mini Implants for Braces – A Smart Way to Move Teeth Faster
If you or your child is wearing braces or clear aligners, you might hear your orthodontist talk about something called mini implants or TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices). Don’t worry – they’re safe, small, and can make your treatment faster and more effective.
What Are Mini Implants?
Mini implants are tiny screws made of a safe metal called titanium. They are placed gently in your mouth (usually in the gums between your teeth) and help your orthodontist move teeth more precisely. Think of them as little anchors that hold one spot steady while we pull or push another tooth into the right position.
Why Use Mini Implants?
Sometimes, regular braces or aligners need a bit of extra support to move teeth in the right direction. Mini implants help when:
Teeth are not moving as expected
Spaces between teeth need to be closed
Some teeth need to be pulled backward or downward
We want to avoid using other teeth for support
Is It Painful?
No. The procedure is very quick and done under local anesthesia (numbing the area). There are no cuts or stitches. Most people feel only slight pressure, and any discomfort goes away in a day or two.
Benefits of Mini Implants:
✅ Faster and better tooth movement
✅ No extra pressure on other teeth
✅ Helps complete treatment in less time
✅ Safe, clean, and removable after use
