Los Angeles Orthodontist Uses Mini Dental Implants In Orthodontic Treatment
Mini dental implants are replacing traditional orthodontic anchorage methods and in some cases, preventing invasive surgeries. Los Angeles and Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) August 18, 2007 -- Los Angeles orthodontist Dr. Atoosa Nikaeen has concluded after several months of using mini dental implants that they tremendously improve orthodontic treatment results. In addition to providing proper anchorage for aligning teeth, Nikaeen's innovative use of mini dental implants- also known as temporary anchorage devices, or TADs- in orthodontics is rendering some old standards of treatment- such as elastics and bulky head gear- unnecessary. "All patients want good results from their orthodontic treatment," Nikaeen said. "I am willing to employ whatever means necessary to ensure my patients receive the best, safest and most successful treatment." Anchorage control is fundamental to successfully align teeth during orthodontic treatment, Nikaeen said. Until mini implants, orthodontic tooth movement that once was accomplished through extraoral anchorage- devices such as head gear used outside the mouth- required cooperation from the patient by diligently and properly wearing the anchorage device. "Not everyone is eager to wear head gear or elastics, because the appliances can be bulky and uncomfortable," Nikaeen said. Using mini implants removes the responsibility from the patient and ensures the best possible results in treatment, she said. The mini implants are not permanent. They simply provide temporary anchorage during orthodontic treatment. The implants are installed by Nikaeen or an oral surgeon and once the patient's braces are removed, the implants can be removed as well. Learn More
