What is a TAD mini-screw in orthodontics?

A TAD (Temporary Anchorage Device) mini-screw is a small titanium implant placed temporarily into the jawbone to serve as a fixed anchorage point for orthodontic tooth movement. Unlike traditional anchorage methods that rely on patient compliance, TADs provide absolute skeletal anchorage, enabling more precise and predictable movement of teeth — including intrusion, extrusion, and molar distalization — with minimal reliance on the patient.

What TAD mini-screw sizes are available at DIP Dental?

DIP Dental offers TAD mini-screws in multiple diameters and lengths: standard orthodontic implants in Ø1.5mm, buccal shelf screws in Ø2.0mm (T/M 4.0mm), zygomatic bone screws in Ø2.0mm (T/M 8.0mm), titanium implants in Ø2.0mm (T/M 2.0mm), and bracket crosshead screws in Ø1.5mm (T/M 1.0mm). Available from DSI and Morelli brands.

What is the difference between a buccal shelf screw and a standard TAD?

A standard TAD mini-screw (Ø1.5mm) is placed in the inter-radicular space between tooth roots for general orthodontic anchorage. A buccal shelf screw (Ø2.0mm) is specifically designed for placement in the dense cortical bone of the mandibular buccal shelf — an area with no root proximity risk — making it ideal for lower molar distalization and full-arch orthodontic mechanics.

What instruments are needed for TAD mini-screw placement?

TAD placement typically requires: a spear tip initial point drill for cortical bone perforation, a manual or latch-type driver for screw insertion, and an autoclavable universal tool kit containing all necessary instruments. DIP Dental offers complete TAD instrument kits from DSI and Morelli, including universal autoclavable kits, manual hand drivers (25mm, 41mm, 93mm), latch-type RA connection drivers (short/medium/long), and spear tip drills.

What are Gurin locks and how are they used with TAD mini-screws?

Gurin locks are orthodontic accessories that attach directly to TAD mini-screws, providing hooks or slots for connecting elastic chains, coil springs, or archwire mechanics. DIP Dental offers Morelli Gurin locks with long hooks, short hooks, and adjustable stops — all designed for 0.56mm archwire slots, enabling versatile force application in TAD-based treatment mechanics.
