A steadier angle for orthodontic anchors? trial tests two insertion techniques

NCT ID NCT07715851

First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial compares two techniques for placing temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in the jawbone to support orthodontic treatment. Healthy adults needing premolar extractions and maximum anchorage will receive both insertion methods on opposite sides of the mouth. The study measures which technique leads to better TAD survival, stability, and patient comfort over six months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Temporary Anchorage Device (TAD) inserted via steady oblique-angled or two-step angulation technique
What this could lead to
If one technique proves superior, it could improve the success and comfort of orthodontic treatments that require temporary anchorage devices.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The techniques are already in use, so the benefit may be modest.
