Abstract
Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have gained profound applications in contemporary orthodontic protocols to treat almost every genre of malocclusion; be it arising from dentoalveolar component, from a skeleton component, or a combination of both. The versatility of TADs has allowed the horizons of orthodontic treatment to be expanded by utilizing bone as an anchor unit. This review dwells into the journey of TADs through Kuhn's Paradigm; from its humble beginnings in the form of animal studies to case reports, randomized control trials and meta-analyses. This article also weighs-in the potential future of TAD applications in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.
