The Applications of TADs in Canine Transpositions

Tooth transpositions are relatively rare, and unless x-rays are obtained, they may go unnoticed until teeth begin to erupt. The prevalence, possible etiologies, and clinical considerations for different treatment options are reviewed in various classifications of canine transpositions. A guideline of treatment strategies for canine transpositions is discussed. Although orthodontic correction to restore ideal tooth order is not always possible for canine transpositions, the advent of two new techniques, CBCT and TADs, offers better diagnosis and new treatment options.
