TAD

#1 Post by jetbird »

Hi. I'm 47 years old and have had braces since 12 December. My orthodontist has just booked me in to have a TAD put in to move an incisor 1.5mm (which I am grinding on constantly). Could someone tell me what it's like having a TAD, it will be inserted into the right inside of my mouth to pull the left tooth to the right position. Anyone had experience with this? Thanks in advance :shock:

See bottom of page 12 for pics. Have one tad installed to move a molar forward. Installation was basically get a numbing shot like a filling. Then felt nothing. Still don't feel it.
