Robert;
I have utilized these TADs with much success. They do fail from time to time and I have to replace them which is not so bad. Sometimes 2 TADs may be needed relative to the amount of force and lever arm distance. In addition, the location and "length" of the TAD are also important.

I found that the mini implant was easily overwhelmed by the forces necessary to move the tooth. Has there been any research concerning the relative amount of force to upright a molar to that to dislodge a mini implant or even the amount of lateral force that could be placed on a more traditional 4 or 5 mm diameter implant. Furthermore, could it be considered to do two mini implants and triangulate with the molar. thanks
