Everything I have read seems to indicate that TADS (temporary attachment devices) are a great way to avoid extractions (I refused) and that they are plain old magical in closing open bites. Is this true, if anyone here has experience with them? I assume they will be uncomfortable if not painful.. not sure how they could NOT hurt at least a little. I am not fearful and have certainly had worse things done to me... LOL. Just wondering if anyone has recent experiences with TADS - as most of the topics I've found here are 4-6 years old and not much discussion since.
My general dentist told me that an orthodontist who is trained and has experience with TADS is great, as they have gone an extra mile to learn every possible technique to make treatment successful. Those who are not trained send you to an oral surgeon. My ortho won my total trust when I learned he had TADS inserted in his own mouth so he would know exactly what it was like.
