Orthodontic treatment often involves correcting improperly positioned teeth and jaws, as well as malocclusion or misaligned bite patterns. Anchorage is a critical component of all types of orthodontic tooth movement, and temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs) have become popular adjuncts to conventional orthodontic treatment. TADs and OMIs provide stable anchorage, reduce the need for patient compliance, and can decrease treatment time. These devices can be used in various orthodontic cases, such as Class II and III malocclusions, deep bites, open bites, and impacted teeth. However, proper case selection, placement, and maintenance are crucial for achieving successful treatment outcomes with TADs and OMIs. The result of these devices is influenced by factors such as the insertion site, insertion angle, and amount of bone contact. The factors contributing to TAD and OMI failure are multifactorial and include conditions related to the device, the patient, and the clinician. The review provides a comprehensive analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of TADs and OMIs, their clinical applications, and the factors influencing their success.
