This combines theoretical teaching with an interactive practical programme demonstrating all aspects of using TADs (mini-screws) in your daily practice, from how to plan them into your treatments, consent, insertion sites, insertion methods, how to set them up specifically to allow correct biomechanics in your aligner treatment, to dealing with complications and their eventual removal.

The interactive TAD placement training includes the delegate following video tutorials on placement followed by submission of images and videos of placement with near live feedback.

Doctor Damon and Ramtin Taheri and Dr Marinopoulos have amassed their wealth of experience and years of working with TAD’s often in conjunction with Clear Aligner therapy and fixed orthodontic appliances into one succinct and complete 2 day Programme, after which our delegates will be ready to tackle the use of TADs in their daily practice from the next day.

The benefits of introducing TADs in your clinic

benefits icon1

As more and more clinicians are treating patients with Clear aligner brands such as Invisalign, the need to provide excellent results becomes even more important. Clear aligners with the right education and the correct protocols can be used to treat most malocclusions, but often such protocols and treatments need to be supported by temporary anchorage devices or miniscrews.

benefits icon2

This will allow you to treat a wider variety of cases, which will in turn take your orthodontic treatments to the next level.

benefits icon3

The Complete TAD Programme was developed from 30 years of collective experience of working with TADs and organised into a 2 day, highly concentrated programme that will allow you to treat a wider variety of patients coming into your practice and to treat these to an excellent standard whilst maintaining your practice efficiency.

How does it work?

1) When booking the programme, an option will be given of purchasing the Screwdriver/Shaft that the presenters currently use. If you already have a screwdriver for TAD placement, you will not need to purchase this separately.**
** Please note, a welcome package containing a typodont and 2 TADs will be sent to you with every registration. These might not be compatible with your existing screwdiver/shaft so please double check this to avoid issues on the day.

2) Welcome package of 2 TADs and Typodont will be posted prior to the programme date. Screwdriver and shaft will also be sent if purchased.

3) The programme will consist of pre-recorded presentations that will run over two consecutive days. This will include videos of insertion for different cases that you will need to follow from home using the screwdriver/shaft, TADs and typodont. You will be required to record each exercise, and then forward this to the presenters via email at info@aliners.co.uk. The presenters will review this in real time and provide feedback, prior to moving onto the next exercise.

4) After the programme you will be enrolled into our closed delegate facebook group which will continue to provide you with planning help and support whenever needed.

5) The programme will focus on the most commonly used TAD designs and will therefore not cover TADs with superstructures such as mesialsing appliances for example.
